Just wondering if the following pc would be powerful enough to run Blu-ray movies fine.

Intel Pentium D 820
2Gb DDR2 533mhz
500gb SATA II drive
X-Fi titanium
No real graphics card, just an old one.

Thanks
 
I don't think so. IIRC, you needed a 3.2ghz Pentium D minimum according to LG's GGW-H20L.

I stand to be corrected obviously, but would say that its definitely less likely, with no GPU decoding and an obsolete processor.
 
With a new £30 GPU then yes.

But the 820 runs VERY hot and uses lots of power, not great for a HTPC.
