I'm an IT guy so I'm usually playing around on whatever leftovers I Frankenstein together.
My current system is an Intel NUC with a 1.4Ghz i5 running Ubuntu 20.04.
It's great as a general use PC and remote education station and it will run NES or Arcade emulators all day, but
Yes I'm now aware after looking at specs this is why I can't run PCSX2.
So I'm digging through my scraps and I've found something I think will work and just wanted to get some input on it.
ASUS Q87M / Intel i7-4470 @ 3.4Ghz / 16Gb RAM ( I may even be able to scrounge up more RAM)
The Q87 has Intel HD 4600 Graphics and is supposed to support 4K video, but I also have an nVidia Quadro 600 laying around.
From what I can tell online it's almost a toss up on whether to use the Quadro vs the onboard GPU.
I'm thinking this should be a pretty darn good box for emulation and probably for streaming 4K with Plex or Kodi
Planning on putting the latest Ubuntu point release on it which should be pretty stable.
Thoughts?
