Video Compatibility
« on: December 23, 2008, 07:47:29 pm »
I'm running a AMD Athlon 64 Processor 2.0 Ghz, 1.50 gb Ram, and a Nvidia FX5200 video card. I'm presently running Vista Ultimate and windows mce and I'm very displeased with what I have to go thru everyday with just wanting to pop in a dvd and watch it! I have 2 questions. #1 Is my Nvidia FX5200 compatible? will it work for now? #2 I watch netflix often and it's not compatible with firefox, so I need to use dreaded IE7! When I switch to Linux MCE can I run IE7 or a compatible web browser!

Please see here:  http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Category:Graphic_Cards
and here: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Roku_Netflix_Player

To answer your questions
1) yes and yes
2) no- see second link above and see forums for talk of possible alternatives (not likely, at least any time soon)
