Default Windows Media Center system requirements

So I found a copy of Windows media center sitting around the house today and said"hey why not install it on somthing." Well what I'd like to know is what are the minimal system requirements? I googled it and turned up a bunch of stupid crap that I didn't want to read. So does anyone have any experience with it and what it's like?

I had it running on my HTPC and ended up getting rid of it and went back to XP. XP works well and I realy don't have too many complaints with it for the HTPC rig. Although WMC looks quite good and was easy to use, it for some reaon didn't seem compatible with a few things. Admittedly I didn,t give it a real go as I was anxious to get the rig up and running. By all means give it a go and see if it works better for you. It is really suited for its intended purpose and would be pretty much no good for your regular day to day computer.
