Can any PC capable of running Windows XP properly run Windows Media Center 2005??

I would like to get the most out of my XBOX360, but cant afford to shell out the money for a new PC too.

I have an out dated PC, AMD Athlon XP 1.4ghz, 768mb DDR ram, 80gig HDD, AGP Grafix card, 10/100mb lan, blah, blah, blah..... Can PC run Media Center 2005???

sure can the only thing you would have problem if any is if you get like an HDTV tunner that has a software based decoder it will stutter etc... but if you plan on doing any TV watching with media center make sure you stick to card tunners with Hardware based encoders if you just want the media center to stream your pictures,music and what ever video is supported in mce then you should be ok
