Got 1GB of ram, a 3.06Ghz HT pentium and a 9700ATI AGP card.
Any idea if they would be enough to play the h.264 hidef channels from DTT? (it's enough to play 720p x264 .mkv's and I think .ts so that would be a yes right?)

Also anyone know where to get the cheapest (but not crap) card that will work with Freeview Terrestrial?

Thanks.

CYaBro: I've built a few HTPCs for customers using the new AMD low power CPU - BE2350.
It runs at 2.1GHz and is dual core but runs on a TDP of only 45W so keeps the HTPC quiet and cool.


Which mobo do you normally use. Thanks.

I have almost the same system, 1gb ram, 3ghz HT Pentium and an ATI 9600XT 256mb.

It appears to play samples perfect, but apparently its not going to be up it with live.
