    Hi,

    Can this guy with the core 2 duo processor run vista media center?

    I'd be hooking up an external usb hdtv stick to it and would like to know if the processor at 1.2 ghz and the GMA 950 chip are good enough...


    Thanks

    I've tried it (when I had a D430)...the eVGA USB TV Tuner didn't work so well.

    Make sure you get an external TV tuner that does hardware decoding, if you want to have a chance at it working.
