Why is it inaccurate?
Please point it out specifically, (I took great care to copy the relevant data especially and exactly especially for AMD uvd2.2 stuff and spoke to wsnipex about legacy cards so idk what you see that I dont!
Also explain why all hardware lists have different data?
This needs to be improved needs to be consistent across wiki, period, however that is done or not.
a long block of text isn't as easy to read follow, and is also Inconsistent, This is for first time Linux users, they hate reading also. I would agree perhaps better way to do it, so here is your change to prove your superiority.
Please do address the the messiness, clearly you hate my style but refuse to show me better.
- Inaccurate and messy work
please point it out and improve it and explain!
Here it is for reference and I would like to see your comments here addressed.
- x86 x86_64 (Intel/AMD) processor computer capable of booting from CD-ROM/USB drive.
- Limited PPC support: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=173287
- Optional is to install to a 8GB (or larger) USB-flash-drive or internal harddrive.
- Larger than 8GB is required, if you have a lot of media as thumbs and art are cached on it.
| Minimum Required Hardware for XBMC | |||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CPU | GPU | RAM | OpenGL | SSE | HDD/SSD/USB | Optical Drive | |||||||||||||
| Intel Pentium 4 | Intel Pentium M | AMD Athlon XP/64 | AMD Opteron | ATI/AMD | Intel | NVIDIA | 1GB | OpenGL 2.0 or newer recommended] |
Yes SSE |
Internal or External 8GB or larger |
Optional | |||||||||
| Fast modern dual-core processor is required to decode H.264 videos in FullHD (1080p) Where GPU acceleration isn't supported. |
HD 4300/4500 Series supported ATI Radeon R700 (HD 5000) supported and recommended |
Intel GMA 950 (945G) or newer supported Intel GMA X4500HD (G45) or newer recommended. |
NVIDIA GeForce 6-Series and newer supported GeForce 8-Series and newer recommended. | ||||||||||||||||
Note: ATI Radeon cards lower than UVD2.2, are not supported with Ubuntu & variants 12.10 base system, using fglrx, due to changes in ATI's drivers. Legacy cards that support the minimum OpenGL requirements still can be installed, but you wont get any hardware acceleration playback in XBMC with fglrx and must remain at a specific version to work without bugs..

- For starters, the RAM requirement is wrong. The minimal RAM requirement for XBMC to run on linux hardware, even for v13 Gotham, on x86 systems, is still 256MB. The CPU requirement has been replaced with a recommendation. That recommendation of "dual core" means nothing because XBMC doesn't use more than one core for video decoding, and has only gained the ability to use more cores in v13 Gotham if specifically set to do so, and even that setting discourages turning that on.
