Would this hardware suffice to run XBMC for windows on Win7 32bit with 4gb RAM

I need to be able to play 720p as well as 1080p.

It has the Intel GMA X3100 VGA

Thanks

"Would it do" depends on what you plan to do

Yes, it will run XBMC. You need to be more specific...

Do you plan to stream 1080p? 720? SD?

It does not have the best GPU, so I am unsure the limitations and if it would fit your needs. How expensive is that? There may be better options in the same price range.

I would skip it - it's old hardware wise (min. x4500HD for Intel integrated) and meant to be a digital signage player. Also it needs a socket P processor which isn't readily available.

Yes, that would be it's main function.

I hear you. We do a lot of digital signage stuff and I have one of these lying around so I thought that I would give it a try.

Thanks for saving me a lot of time and frustration.

Could stick a broadcom decoder card in it and should be good to go.

Sorry, but I have no idea what you are refering to. Please could you explain?

Thanks

EDIT: Sorry, was lazy. Google gave me the answer

Eh, Broadcoms are nice but lack robust decoding. I would just look elsewhere...
