Hi guys, for those of you tech savey RowPro users.....

I'm just wondering if the MiniX NEO Z83-4 as per attached link would have the capacity to run RowPro??

CPU power is not the problem, I ran RowPro V4.3 for years on an old 2006 era 3.2GHz single core Pentium 4, it eats the task.

The issue is the GRAPHICS. I see it has HDMI V1.4 which is great for connectivity but how much grunt does it have because it needs ALOT to get 50-60Hz screen updates or 50-60 fps or frames per second (in the highest resolution mode) as RowPro calls it down the bottom right hand side of the screen while your using it. Graphics speed 200-500MHz, it may just be good enough, maybe 30 fps ? but you would need to test it.

Its also 64bit which is a must have for RowPro V5.0.

If you buy one let us know how it performs.

Thanks Carl, thinking it might be worth a try! Will keep you updated.....

I'm running an older model. Intel j1900 with integrated HD graphics. I team two TV off the hdmi slot for Netflix, kodi, Spotify and row pro rings on a seperately dvi monitor.
No problems..

Thanks Dean, when you say you're currently running xxx do you mean a MiniX?

Thinking the only way to know would be to test the theory.....,

Thanks guys

mini-ITX:
it was a black friday amazon deal from 2015 - so it probably isn't available now.
it had both a dvi-d and hdmi conncetions with the abilty to use them both in a dual monitor configuration.

I use one (HDMI) to broadcast videos (Kodi, Plex,Netflix, Spotify) and the DVI-D for rowpro.
It has plenty of power to run them simultaneously.

here the configs (stolen off amazon)
