General HTPC Question

In theory yes... 😛 In reality you might better look at an Athlon XP, or even better a Sempron (S754)... But as long as it can be cooled quietly, you have the basics for a HTPC...

@ Raduque: I had to ask that question too... D*mn... 😛
 
I tend to think in terms of Windows MCE, which needs a pretty beefy cpu/ram/vidcard combo. I keep forgetting about Beyond, Myth and so on. If it's a faster p3 (1.3 tualatin, or severely OCed celeron tualatin) you might be able to get by with it.
 
My first Media Center PC was an Athlon 1200 and I would consider that the bottom end. It was usable, but I had to disable GUI animations in Media Center and it felt sluggish.

Both my current MCE systems are running under Athlon 2000+ CPUs and performance is great.
