Hi all
Reading through the post I think the answer is yes but just want to confirm.
Can I use a base 2011 mini as a HPTC and use it to rip bluray and playback in 1080P?
I will upgrade to 4gig of ram.
I'm just wondering about the internal graphic issue.
Also
Should I use an USB drive directly connected of stick to my NAS connected on a Gigabyte LAN. I currently have less than 1tb of content.
Many Thanks Phil |

Sorry
I guess that was badly worded, i was thinking shared GPU v dedicated GPU.
If that is a factor over CPU and RAM
Cheers Phil |

No. Not for what you want to use it for. It's all about the CPU. The GPU is just used to give you a screen with pretty effects.
