wow you are using a Apple Cinema display?Originally posted by: Cadaver
Wow. After reading some of these comments, I thought my machine would have some serious issues.
It did quite respectably.
At full screen, the 1080p T2 trailer played perfectly, and the 1080p Coral Reef had just a couple of very tiny video hiccups (audio was fine). And that's with Mozilla loaded and all my background processes running, too.
Hardware = Athlon XP 2600+ @ 192MHz FSB/12x ratio (2304MHz), Asus A7N8X mobo, WD 1200JB hard drive, 512MB DC-DDR RAM @ 2-2-2-5 100% sync, Radeon 8500 128MB, Apple 22" Cinema Display @ 1600 x 1024 resolution.

Wow, is this how intense HDTV decoding is? What about HDTV receivers, they can't be running 3ghz+ are they?No.
Dedicated HDTV processors do not use a general purpose processor (such as a Pentium). They use application-specific integrated circuits that are designed to do in hardware what our computers are doing in software.
The hardware is designed for a single purpose and can do nothing else. But what it is designed to do, it does very well, and very fast.

Guys, I hate to rain on the parade here, but I just can't get excited about these videos.
I have real HDTV at home, and these videos are simply no match for it.
