1384984 2014-09-29 09:52:00 I was using a 3Ghz dell optiplex 755 which is a core 2 Duo with 2GB of RAM and installed windows 8 with media centre on it. It worked surprisingly well, full hd playback with ease and general browsing worked really well.
I only replaced it as I ended up with a lot of spare parts from my experiment with litecoin mining.
