| 200427 | 2003-12-14 15:16:00 | Its not the best player..no xvid and the videos have to be encoded to the 'home theatre' profile which is average quality. Best to make your own stripped down computer so it can do the lot. |

| 200429 | 2003-12-14 19:28:00 | Bear in mind that while 450Mhz will play very small DivX fiels, you wont be able to do anything high res. In reality I'd recommend you have at least a 733 if pos. What else do you want this PC to be able to do? Play DVD's? Capture video? |

| 200430 | 2003-12-17 07:40:00 | Na basicly just act as a dumb terminal, no screen, connected to a tv for playing divx...you think 550mhz wouldn cut the chase? | sjbryce (2129) | ||
| 200431 | 2003-12-17 09:22:00 | Should do... Might not to Hi-res DivX's.... Does somebody with a 550Mhz have a DivX file they can try out? |

| 200433 | 2003-12-17 10:13:00 | Im pretty sure with the DivX Playa you can choose the "quality" settings.. Setting that to lower helps..! How do you plan on running this box then? VNC? |
