Apologies I have limited knowledge when it comes to processors and the like

With RAM and a SATA drive for approx £30, and a remote for £15, you're looking at £140 for the lot.

How well would it run XBMC?

Thanks

Run fine. What SSD you thinking?

No idea can you recommend one.

Ebay link says 2.5 sata needed ?

You running windows or openelec?

As it has USB3 get a usb3 stick. That'll fly!!

Whats wrong with intel gma ??thanks

GMA3650 is really a third-party rebadge of a PowerVR SGX545 (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_GMA#GMA_3600). AFAIK, there is no driver support in Linux and from my own testing in Windows it's very slow (slower than D525/GMA3150), won't play Netflix and you need to turn of Aero to even use it as a nettop.

Thanks for info. And advice..??

My apologies. I saw HDMI 1080p, atom D2550 and swear I saw ION in that spec. I would of searched GMA before saying it was good!


My revo 3700 is atom D525 and ION2. Which doesn't help lol.

Hmmm. Back to the drawing board then. Thought it was too good to be true.

Thanks though.

What's your budget? Requirements?
