Acer Revo 3600: single core processor 2GIG RAM vista or Acer Revo 3610: Duel core processor 2Gig RAM Win7 I'm only after it to play both XBMC live via a SD boot... Playing both .AVI and .MKV Will the difference in processor really make a difference? And will it make a difference to power consumption?
Depends what the difference in the price is. If it's small, then opt for the Dual Core, without a second thought. As for power consumption, it depends on what exact processors you are talking about. But probably a neglegable difference.
hello wait one question 2gb of ram....thats gunna b a slow runner i would get 4gb and dual core and win7 no question
For £25 and extra storage space, it's a no brainer really. Pay the extra. 2gb is more than adequate for your requirements.
Vista and Win7 will be crappy on a single core (in comparison to a dual/multi-core, that is).. these are multi-core optimized Operating systems. I suggest going dual core with 2GB of RAM.
