Probably not. XBMC currently only uses the CPU for video decodering and a 1.5GHz VIA C7 is just not very powerfull.


Others have asked about VIA EPIA motherboards/processors before, please read this:

Quote:for smooth playback of native 720p H.264 encoded video you need at least single-core 2.8Ghz or a 1.8Ghz dual-core

VIA C7/C7-M CPUs are no good for XBMC unless you are satisfied with standard-definition playback

No
