Was just wondering if anyone have had their hands on the now rather old AMD Athlon 5150 and have a feeling for its performance.. Im about to go pick one up(tomorrow morning) in a tiny slim case with a dc powerbrick and use it as a basic media center/10 player minecraft/misc game server. Is it useable as such?
 
Yup used 1 in a htpc worked brilliantly. No gpu just that 2 x 2gb 1333mhz ram played everything 1080p no stutters at all.

...thank you for the reply..you made my day with that comment. Managed to find a used 5150 with 4 gigs and a kingston 64gb ssd complete with case and dc brick for 65 pounds.. Now i just have to figure out what OS to use.
 
Well i've set it up with Windows 2012 eval edition and its running like a champ..its maxing out my gigabit network for transfers and hosting simple things has been easy...i am very impressed by it considering how inexpensive it is..
 
so what options do i have media server wise.. preferably something with a client as well.. but not nessessary.. any recommendations?
