Media center PC?

Name: Anonymous 2007-05-26 20:11 ID:7/Y91A+L

Motherboard: p5mvp3-at
CPU: AMD-K62 400Mhz
IDE: ATA/33
AGP: Nvidia GeForce MX 4000
RAM: 640MB SDRAM
2xUSB 1.0 onboard

Bought it at a garage sale for $10.  But it had a Voodoo3D AGP card in it, I replaced it with the above card (works).  This is a very strange motherboard.  Takes either AT or ATX power connectors, has ISA, PCI, and AGP slots and according to the manual I can install either a AMD or Intel CPU in it.

Anyway, think I can use it as a media center PC, mostly playing stuff off the network?

I tested it with some pr0ns I've downloaded.  Nowhere near 10mbit I'm sure and it was jerking (no pun intended) with those.

Well, after I installed dx90c2 it went a lot smoother, but still stuttered.  I was going to try to stream DVDs with it.  I had an old Compaq that had a 533Mhz K6-2 (pretty similar to this system) that handled mpeg2 just fine. 

Maybe I should overclock it.  There's lots of jumpers for those purposes.

I don't know what I'm going to do with it now.
