I have an old P4 dell computer I've been using to stream music to my WHA system with MC18. It currently has a PCI video card. I was thinking I could put a newish PCI card with HDMI, such as:
Zotac NVIDIA GeForce GT 610 512MB GDDR3 PCI
It is only around $50 so likely not too painful to try it out and if it doesn't work, oh well.
I believe the processor is P4 2.8Ghz, it has 4GB of ram and is running Windows XP.
My MKV blu-ray rips are full bitrate video and audio simply converted to the mkv container from the original disk.
Should I save my money and just build a full HTPC with modern parts when funds allow or is there a chance this PC with a new card can handle it?
