You are mistaken (or i have mislead you with my writing) I'm going for the hardware acceleration, that's for sure.
But i want to be able to handle software also (don't need to, just want too). There are a couple of issues on certain media that won't HA and that's where software decoding with CoreAVC can come in handy
Originally i wanted the 4850E also but it wasn't available here yet so i went for the BE-2400. I didn't even had the intention to OC the little bastard but it worked.. +23% (@ 2x2800mhz) and system is stable
So now the CPU is also fully capable of handling 1080p content that can't be accelerated .
Also the reason why i disable hardware acceleration in MyTV (mpeg2 only, not HD) is because i have an "issue" with deinterlacing when enabled (disabling it just looks better). This is because of a setting i have yet to figure out, untill then HA stays of on SD TV.
