Yes, but it is overspecced, and probably noisier than it needs to be -
which is subjectively an irritant.
Most people seem to be going for single or dual core Atom-Ion systems
with SSD, USB-pen-drive or network booting such as this

with VPDAU this will do full 1080p at 20% CPU
I am playing back SD (UK DVB-T freeview) on an old Via SP13000 @ 20% CPU usage.
This is over a CAT5 100mb link.
Having tried running the frontend on my Core2 laptop to benchmark
frontend responsiveness it is very similar on both; so throwing more
powerful CPUs at remote frontends doesn't seem to make much of a
difference.
Thanks And Regards,
