xbmc in a too old pc - Pidjey - 2009-01-19 hi ppl, i wated to know if i could run live xbmc in a k6-2, i only want it for music, i'm not interesting on video at all, thx - CademiaX - 2009-01-20 Well, here are the XBOX 1 specs, I would at least do better or match them. Since the K6-2 stops at 550Mhz, and XBMC with certain skins can bring the xbox to its knees, im going to say no, but you can try, xbmc-live is also running linux under it. You will not be able to use visuals either.

K6 should of hung its boots up years ago I'm affraid..... you could use it for a DOS machine to run all the old DOS games on.....? - jt0451 - 2009-01-20 Don't knock old hardware. I ran a 233mhz Celeron as a NAS for years, had a passive heat sink, very quite. Check out Music Player Daemon, could be just what you're looking for. Quote:MPD is a flexible, powerful, server-side application for playing music. Through plugins and libraries it can play a variety of sound files while being controlled by it's network protocol. alternatively you can pick up second hand xboxes really cheap. - Geeba - 2009-01-20 Yep I run loadsa old hardware... as servers and remote access... but I thinks hes afer an entry level XBMC machine..... Yep I'd go the Xbox route too... mate bought one for £3 on ebay! its a no brainer for that much.... |
