I am thinking about getting a gateway touch intel pentium G630 with windows 7. (all in one pc) will this handle xbmc on it? want to run 1080 or 720 vids.
opinions and will the touch skin work on this?
thanks

You need to post the spec: I have no idea what's in a Gateway G630.
The only really important bit is the video card. Avoid Intel video processors as they can give problems with hardware acceleration. I prefer NVIDIA GPUs, but there are many happy AMD users hereabouts.

Don't do it then - at least until Intel improves their graphics drivers.
System: XBMC HTPC with HDMI WASAPI & AudioEngine - Denon AVR-3808CI - Denon DVD-5900 Universal Player - Denon DCM-27 CD-Changer
- Sony BDP-S580 Blu-Ray - X-Box 360 - Android tablet wireless remote - 7.1 Streem/Axiom/Velodyne Surround System
If I have been able to help feel free to add to my reputation +/- below - thanks!

Or buy the PC then buy a cheap NVIDIA G210: assuming the G630 allows you to install an additional video card.
