Hi, I would like to ask what is the minimum hardware requirements for viewing high definition video/video clips trailers.

I got this from Quicktime: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/guide/hd/recommendations.html

I have tried to download HD trailers of 720p and 1080p and I tried playing them on a P4 2.8ghz 512mb ram geforce mx400 system and they ran fine and smooth.

When I tied playing both 720p and 1080p on a Duron 2.0Ghz (overclocked from 1600mhz) 384MB RAM, gforce fx5200 the movie was so choppy.

BTW I was using Quicktime and the HD files are .mov
 
Im wondering how come HD clips are choppy on a Duron 2.0ghz with a geforce fx5200 graphics card but while playing games at 1024x768 is fine?

I tried playing games on a 2.8ghz P4 with a gforce mx440 the fps is a bit lower or almost the same with the duron 2.0ghz (with much uglier graphics though) but the HD plays smooth,

Is there a way to play HD clips faster on the duron 2ghz? or playing HD video really requires huge cpu power?
 
Playing games has nothing to do with decoding HDTV content. The FX5200 is significantly better than a MX440.

Duron 2Ghz is a neutered AXP (128K cache). It has no SSE2/3 and is just not powerful enough. Decoding is almost solely CPU power.
