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

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MINIX-HD-PC-In...3f26c404aa

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?

smallclone · 2013-08-29, 18:27

Try it on USB memory stick to start off with.

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

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.

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.

smallclone · 2013-08-30, 10:09

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

Thanks though.

What's your budget? Requirements?
