Any computer less than 3 or 4 years old should have no problem with that.

Older ones will probably do fine too, since the projector requires such low
res native input.
The real key is simply having a decent viewer program.
I highly recommend ACDSee (www.acdsystems.com)
They have a free, fully functional demo version...
Others will recommend the fully free viewers like IrfanView. I don't care
for it, but many do.
