Will a Intel i3 - 330M play fullscreen Hulu/HD Youtube fullscreen (1080)?

Checking into laptops for a friend, and want to know what it takes to get fullscreen Hulu and other sites to play smoothly on a HDTV. Thanks

With ease

Get flash 10.1 rc4 (or higher). It's processor usage is a fraction of flash 10.0's. With flash 10, my core2quad @ 3.2GHz couldn't run youtube smoothly fullscreen with 1080 video.

I noticed using my Radeon my PC would cut the audio to fullscreen Hulu with hardware acceleration on. I just leave it off now, so it must be using the CPU only.

I'm looking for something for my girlfriend to use with her TV and I don't want any problems at all with web video. I was thinking any dual core would do the job fine.

That's pretty F'ed up. My friend's E5200 @ 3.625Ghz plays YouTube and full-screen Hulu just perfectly fine.

Another friend has a Q8200 @ 2.8Ghz, and likewise, he can play YT and Hulu full-screen no problem.

So if you can't, with a quad-core, then something is wrong.

Agreed, my old laptop with a single core Athlon 3500 and radeon express 200 graphics, can handle hulu full screen.
