I don't see why it wouldn't. It even has HDMI on that. Throw in an SSD and some ram and you're ready to go! You shouldn't have any problems running XBMC. My nieces laptop is very similar spec wise to this and she hooks it up to our tv and watches various things with it.

The link worked fine for me.

It will not run HD Netflix.... not enough CPU. However, it should be ok for most other playback tasks.

I have an E350 mITX HTPC myself.
Once again...
