what are the lowest spec you would put on a htpc ?

[Mr. May]

iam looking at building a htpc and was wondering whats the lowest spec you would go for not bothered if its ati or Nvidia, amd or intel

I was thinking either socket 775 or am2 as there cheap to up grade to later on and 2gb of some cheap ddr2 what gfx card would you recomend all ready got sound card

it needs to be able to play some games maybe cod nothing special and 1080p playback as my current setup stuggles with bluray downloads and stutters like mad

thanks in advance Mr.May
