    dual xeon processor
    4gb ram

    not sure what else would be relevant to this

    TIA

    Your system should be powerful enough to handle a Blu-Ray drive; however the standard Windows Media Player does not support Blu-Ray playback.

    I confess I've yet to find the perfect BD playback program. You can try VLC Media Player (free in the downloads section) - if it doesn't work, I'd check reviews on Amazon and Newegg for paid apps. such as Nero.

    Hope this helps. :)
