i won't be able to get anywhere near that spec, whats in the box at the mo:

Win7 Ultimate

Graphics - Intel 82945G, ive set it to DVMT with 216mb of ram allocated, its also in 'turbo' mode 

CPU - Pentium D 2.8 Ghz, with 1.5GB of ram.

Some run of the mill 80gb HD.

Does job for me apart from this flicker, which is very slight. Just going to try connecting the xbox for videos see how well that works, only leaves using Spotify really

1.5GB RAM looks low for Ultimate especially considering that 216MB of it is being bled off for video, have you got any spare RAM you can insert to try and bump it up? Increased system RAM might allow the video to pull more and clear your problem.

not got anything significant to hand that can boost it

Its Windows 7 - 1Gb left for Windows is more than enough to run MCE and hang an extender off it.  Vista, I would agree, 1.5Gb left for windows is a better option.

MCE isn't that heavy on memory to be honest, esp if you use it as a dedicated MCE, and therefore don't install every bit of crap ever made onto it

I've never bothered to play with the MCE but yes I guess if that's the only thing running it shouldn't be a problem. Silly question, but just to check it's not a 64 bit install is it?

With 1.5Gb ram, I would like to hope its not x64 version of Windows

That said, for marketing purposes, so many PC builders put x64 onto 4Gb equipped machines. Retards.

I'd hope not as well but i've seen so many people take x64 because it has to be better than x32.....
