I bought these parts a while ago and wondered if I'll need a dedicated video card to run XBMC (linux or live not sure yet) or if the on-board video will work. Currently I have nothing at 1080p (720p TV and pj and SD dvd collection) but would like to move that way soon. I'd also like it to be able to stream hulu and netflix...
mobo: Intel BOXDG45FC LGA 775 Intel G45 Mini ITX Intel Motherboard
onboard video: Intel GMA X4500HD

cpu: Intel Celeron 430 Conroe-L 1.8GHz 512KB L2 Cache LGA 775 35W Single-Core Processor

1 or 2 gig or ram I can't remember right now and 2.5" 500gig 5400rpm hard drive. If I do need a better video card it will have to be low profile. Trying to stay as cheap as possible right now until I figure out if I can drop my cable bill.
Thanks in advance!
