I bought a Gateway machine with an AMD E1 1200 chip to hook up to my TV so I could watch movies, Netflix, stream sport events, and watch highlights. I tried upgrading the RAM to 6GBs and got no real improvement in performance, but here's my question: would I get any improved function from adding a video card or would that be a waste of money because of the CPU bottlenecking the speed of the system as a whole?
I obviously should have bought a higher powered machine, but I didn't, so I'm hoping $50 will get the performance to where I need it to be.
