Hello,
I recently acquired an old core 2 duo, Newberry lake mobo, 2gb RAM. I was thinking of repurposing it as a htpc to stream 1080p video from youtube and Netflix. I think putting a cheap gpu in there to offload video decode will make it good for this role. Only thing is I'm not sure what OS to put on it, as I'm not going to even try to use Windows Vista that is on it at the minute. Would this computer handle Windows 7/10? Note the mobo has a max of 2gb ram. Thanks for your help!
