Ubuntu player for 1.6.0

I've tested several HW boxes as Xibo clients, an Aopen DE945pro with Windows XP, a Raspberr PI with Ubuntu 10.4, a Asus netbook 1215n with both Win7 and Ubuntu 12.4, a Minix 7 under Android as well as a Motion Computing LE1700 with Win XP. Most combination worked fine, just Raspberry and the netbook under Ubuntu did not work. Raspberry has just 512MB main memory, which is too small for Ubuntu 12.4. the Asus netbook has an internal hybrid graphics which is not supported by Xibo. Unfortunately all of the working combinations showed jumpy videos, text, pictures and especially HTML5 animations. Maybe with some tweaking this could be improved, but I think, the low performance of the underlying HW was the major reason for slow motion.

Now I want to test a HW with more power. The Zodiac ZBOX ID45 has an Intel Core i3 CPU and a Nvidida GT640 GPU. This is by far more powerful than all of the above mentioned systems. I want to install 4GB of DDR3 ram and a fast 64GB SSD. Before buying one and investing time (and money) into it, I'd like to get your advise. Do you think this HW is suitable to run a Xibo client 1.6.0 under Ubuntu 12.04? Does Xibo support the Nvidia GPU, even though there is an internal HD4000 build into the Intel chip? How is the internal GPU switched off and the Nvidia GPU switched on? Did somone successfully get this box up running?

Thank you.
