here's my set up. I have a desktop that I use for web surfing and pure media.
http://www.evga.com/modsrigs/detail.aspx?buildid=1471
if you can read it ( ihate that layout, the old one from how many ever years ago I put that page up was better )
it's a little out of date, the processor is back to factory clock @ 1.86ghz and the ram is also back to factory clock @ 800mhz. also there's an additional 750gb hdd and the a/v receiver is a newer model.
now, all that together, when i was running XP, using VLC the 1080p videos lagged and skipped. afaik the computer couldn't keep up (possible at the time it was the ram... buuuuuut now that I think about it probably not cause it would've been upgraded at the time). In Win7 though I don't have the loading issue.
some of those little 300-400$ suckers aren't really all that bad. Research for the right one.
