Can't even imagine what they'd look like on mine:

dual 3.2, 6600GT AGP.

CPU usage ought to be what, 5%? :)

EDIT: Went ahead and tried it out, updated WMP to 10 + hotfixes. CPU usage on the processes page didn't cross 15% unless I did things to increase it like moving dialog boxes across the video.

Interestingly, WMP is multithreaded while Media Player Classic is not. MPC drops frames like a mofo, although it never consumes more than 25% processing power.
