==Hardware requirements== [[Image:mediacenterinfo.png|thumbnail|300px|The Software Version screen showing MCE running on an [[Intel]] [[Core 2|Core 2 Duo]] computer]] Media Center has higher hardware requirements than other editions of Windows XP. MCE 2005 requires at least a 1.6 GHz processor, [[DirectX]] 9.0 hardware-accelerated [[Graphics processing unit|GPU]] (ATI [[Radeon]] 9 series or nVidia [[GeForce FX Series]] or higher), and 256 MB of [[Random Access Memory|System RAM]]. Some functionality, such as Media Center Extender support, use of multiple tuners, or [[High-definition television|HDTV]] playback/recording carries higher system requirements. Media Center is much more restricted in the range of hardware that it supports than most other software [[digital video recorder|DVR]] solutions. Media Center tuners must have a standardized driver interface, and they must have hardware [[MPEG-2]] encoders (this was changed as companies such as ATI wrote drivers to support MCE 2005 with their All-In-Wonder cards and HDTV Wonder cards), [[closed caption]] support, and a number of other features. Media Center remote controls are standardized in terms of button labels and functionality, and, to a degree, general layout.
