[QUOTE="mthand, post: 365054, member: 87525"] Good to hear! Yup, from those specs, your cpu is doing all the work to decode the h264 content. The issues on C4 still sound like codec issues, and perhaps the version of PowerDvd isn't full or something. Or it could be a de-interlacing issue and that should be fixed up with a new graphics card. The ideal scenario is that you upgrade only your graphics card, keep your cpu and your RAM (but then RAM is pretty cheap). You need to offload the decoding from the cpu to the gpu and I have only achieved that using PowerDvd 7.3 Delux, PowerDvd 8 codec from Power Cinema (disk that came with Nova-t 500) and EVR (Vista natively only), so if you're using XP, you may need to get a few more tweaks organised to do that.
