I'm assuming that you're using an AGP 7600 GT? In that case, it's probably pretty marginal for anything much above 720p.

I'm using a Dell Studio Hybrid with a T8100 (mobile Penryn) and it averages about 80% CPU utilization with CoreAVC 1.9, although it will occasionally spike to 95+% (like maybe once every 15-20 seconds) although won't stutter when this occurs. This is with 1080p h264. With 720p it settles around 50-70% cpu utilization.

My question is, do you currently have that computer, or are you planning to pick that up?

No don't have it yet - I won the auction and still haven't paid for it, cheap around $200 or for 350/400 I can get C2D.

I wouldn't tackle HD without at least a C2D. My AMD 4400+ had problems occasionally with 1080p h264.
