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!
