Good afternoon,
first of all: nice to meet you! I'm a long time reader of the forums, that's my first post though.
Here's the deal:
I have this already 6 years old PC that's connected to the living room TV and is used only for general surfing, mostly media streaming. However, even 360p videos put on full screen stutter awfully, just like if the video was playing at 10fps. (on freshly reinstalled XP Home!)
I've diagnosed the HDD, tried putting my sister's Geforce 210, however, the problem still persists without even the slightest improvement, so I'm thinking about getting some new hardware and combine it with some of the old components so the PC would finally get to life again.
What I'm thinking about is keeping the PSU, HDD and Case, and get a new mother board, CPU and a stick of RAM since the current one is incompatible.
The components I've chosen are quite "low-cost".
Mother board: MSI H61M-P20
CPU: Intel G550 2.6Ghz
Ram: Corsair 2GB DDR3 1333
GPU: The on-board one.
Here comes the question: Would those components permit smooth performance of the PC for the tasks specified at the beginning (web surfing, media streaming), most of all, would the on board graphics be capable of playing 1080p videos without stuttering?
The PC will run Windows XP Home.
Thank you and best regards,
(sorry for the long post)
