Hi Everyone,
Currently got a HTPC on the go, although it's showing its age! It's an Intel Atom 330 / nVidia ION combination with 2GB of RAM. It's kind of mostly okay for watching HD content, but it was excruciatingly slow for running anything other than XBMC.
I'm now keen to run a few emulators on it, plus take a look at the Steam home streaming feature, so figured it was time for a change. Since I already have a case, PSU and HDD, an upgrade would not need much!
So how does the below look to everyone? Think this will be sufficient for XBMC, Steam home streaming plus perhaps some emulators?
Thanks in advance!
