Hardware advice?
#1
Hi, I'm thinking about installing XBMC on some hardware I already have. I wanted advice on, if it would work and small(& cheap) changes to improve it.

The machine is :
CPU : AMD 3700+ ATHLON 64 939P RT 2.20 gigahertz
Mobo : MSI K8NGM2-FID GF6150 939
RAM :1 Gb of DDR 400 ram
Video Card : MSI N9500GT-MD512M
HD : WD 200gb SATA + WD Green 2TB SATA

I currently have windows XP on it. I'm debating over changing it to Windows 7 or Linux(Ubuntu).

Any advice would be great. The goal is to re-purpose this old machine to do more than just a file server, which is what it's currently doing.

Thanks!

That system with XBMC Live and no changes equals "play any 1080p file out there."

Add another gig of RAM to get the same result in Windows 7.
