Hello,
I am thinking about setting up an HTPC just for DIVX playback, Emulator and MAME, and recording some TV shows, mostly Cartoon Network.
I have some spare parts that I would like to use since it is free.
I have:
Gainward GeForce 2 MX400
2x128MB PC100
2x64MB PC100
Acorp Motherboard
Pentium 2 500MHZ
LiteOn 48x CDRW
Acer 56x CDRom
Pentium 300MHZ
2x Intel board
I was thinking of using the Video Card and the Acorp Motherboard alongside the Liteon CDRW.
All I need to purchase is a cheap socket 478CPU, a big HD and a PVR250.
Also with the Ram do you think I should try to sell all of my sticks to get some PC133 512MB instead? The Mobo only takes PC100 or PC133, so no DDR.
Advice please.
