You will have no issues with drivers and PC will not be running full tilt trying to decode the video. Faster CPU will help with web browsing (e2200 is pretty slow these days) and 5450 gpu for display/playback. Something like 5450/6450 will decode h264 and costs peanuts. What you need is a faster CPU (best bet is a modded xeon e5440 goes for like 10$ off aliexpress) OR a newer dedicated GPU. You need to run the latest win7 driver in compatibility mode and it will install just fine.Īs for actual playback capability 3 series chipsets do not support 'modern' codecs like h.264,h265 vp9 etc and hence rely on software decoding. I have the same chipset still stashed somewhere.

Windows 10 works just fine with this GPU. Thank you to some help by one of our users, I have reclaimed our old IRC channel! User test-runs his new Asus x205ta on a variety of games and posts results
