I have an old notebook with the following specs:
AMD Athlon (1.6 GHz), 1.6 GHz,
1 GB DDR2 SDRAM
160GB HD
I also have a 1 TB external USB 2.0 HD that I use to store my movies/shows on.
Current all this notebook does is run Utorrent and act as a server for my 2 xbox machines ruining XBMC.
...
All I really want to do is hook the computer up to my LCD (38 inch) with a VGA cable and run xbmc on it, while also having it still act as a server for 1 xbox and have utorrent running in the background. 720p is good enough quality for me.
I'm not particularly attached to any OS.
I've been running XBMC for years now, but never on anything other than an xbox, any advice is greatly appreciated.
Will the computer have enough power to do what I want?
Thanks!
