Can I put Windows Media Center on my desktop PC?
Will this work? Are there any hardware or other requirements for Media Center that I don't have on my pc running XP pro? I have a Dell Dimension 4600, tv tuner, decent graphics card, 712 mb ram.
@ the newest name. ^^ also must comment on said positivity

it will work, i put media center edition on a pc i built with spare parts, including an old video card ( AIW so it DID have vid capture ). it will just give you a little warning that your video drivers are not fully compatible with the media center app, which will work regardless, unless of course your vid card is supported, in which case, no problem
