Folks,
Background: I am building a budget HTPC. The only purpose of the PC is to run VLC and display mp4 files that have 20Mb bitrate. The system will run minimal Ubuntu - just enough to run VLC.
My motherboard will be ivy-bridge based mini ITX.
For the CPU, between Intel core I3 3220 and Celeron G1610, I am inclined towards the latter one primarily because of the cost difference. However, my concern is whether Celeron G1610 can keep up with 20Mb bitrate mp4 files. Last year, I tried to build Atom based HTPC but media playing was so jittery that I just gave up.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Regards,
Peter
