I have a secondary Acer Aspire 3000 laptop with the following specs
Ubuntu 10.04
CPU: AMD Sempron 3000+
RAM: 512mb of memory
VID: SIS 661/741/760 PCI AGP or 662/761gx PCIE VGA display adapter
Sorry about the vid description but that is all SYSInfo will give me
The laptop performs decently outside of the XBMC environment, meaning it plays music\videos, youtube etc just fine but launch xbmc and it slows down to almost unusable.
The questions:
Is the vid card the killer here? will this laptop just simply not do this media center? Or does it just need more memory? or does it need to launch directly into xbmc and not run from inside ubuntu? is there a lighter weight version of this or a less graphically intense application or settings?
