is the WMC a special winXP version? (how about the typical hardware's driver support?)

NitroX infinity · 06 May 2005, 11:06:29

If I'm not mistaking, WMCE requires a 64MB videocard.

I have tryed lastest SFFT alpha 28, but nothing...
any other idea?
someone says me because is not compatible with DX9...

unknownusermx · 11 May 2005, 21:21:17

what's ur exactly problem?....

Could be that Nitrox is right about the GFX of 64mb?.. since the V3 have only 16mb...

Ski · 13 May 2005, 11:57:28

yes it has only 16Mb...
I'm trying to install xp mce or media portal to have a media center system...

unknownusermx · 13 May 2005, 21:09:21

Ok.. but.. u get a specific trouble or what?, any message?, any waring?... something like that?...

From MS WMC 2k5 FAQ's:

Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 is a Windows XP operating system available only on Media Center personal computers. Because of their special hardware feature requirements.

Quote
Q. What is a Media Center PC, and what kind of hardware components does it include?

A. Media Center PCs are complete desktop PCs equipped with hardware and software to deliver advanced computing and rich digital entertainment experiences. Media Center PCs include mid- to high-end processors, high-capacity hard drives, CD-ROM and DVD drives, and optionally, a remote control. The systems feature advanced graphics and audio capabilities, as well as networking connectivity.

Ok... at this point, we are talking of mid to high end components, so could be this:

Processor= 1.2 Ghz - 3.3 Ghz (mid to high)
Memory = At lease 256Mb I guess
GFX= High-end GFX, with TV-Turner and HDTV support, o minimun a gf4 or ati 9200..... this means a loooooooooooot of memory in the gfx....
Sound Card = 6.1 or more support

This are suppositions, because I couldn't find the system requirements...

1.2GHz can't be mid, it's even lower than the entry level nowadays

unknownusermx · 16 May 2005, 07:37:55

I alredy told... are suppositions... and 1.2Ghz for mid range, depending of the CPU.. if u r talking of a duron or celeron, even a VIA... this are low-end CPU... but if u r talking of an Athlon XP 1800 (1.2ghz) is a mid-low range CPU, because is cost effective (better performance that even a celeron @ 2.0 Ghz).

Pay special attention to:

Quote1.1.1.2 Graphics frame buffer memory: 128MB minimum using DDR or equivalent. (Support for high definition video playback and screen resolutions higher than 1280x1024 will require 128MB of graphics memory)

So you see, it's useless to continue this conversation.

Windows Media Center Edition can not be run with a Voodoo 3!

Are there any Athlon XP (except Athlon 4 and mobile version) Runs at 1.2GHz?
I doubt it..but if i am wrong, pls let me know

Nightbird · 17 May 2005, 08:26:12

Well the XP 1500+ runs at 1333 mhz.

unknownusermx · 17 May 2005, 21:09:35

Athlon XP 1200+ (palomino i guess).... i just put wrong the model number.... and the system detect its as XP... so... if am wrong, ms windows is wrong..

edited.-

something in the bios could be wrong too...

NitroX infinity · 18 May 2005, 00:58:25

The lowest AthlonXP rating is 1500+.
