HI all,
I've been considering moving from WinXP to linux (ubuntu) for a while now but have held off.
but i'd really like xbmc to play my 720 and 1080 mkv's, and at the moment there's problems with that under XP. (common knowledge)
I've heard there's a marked improvement using the linux version.
Can anyone with experience tell me, if my system specs would be able to play 720 or 1080 mkv's under linux xbmc?
(i know this its more complicated than just specs, but im just looking for a rough idea, i know there's varying bitrate and things like that which aren't so easy to quantify).
Core Duo 1.66GHz (does linux recognise dual core?)
1GB ram
Nvidia GeForce Go! 7400
Any opinions welcome.
thanks
