[QUOTE="knutinh, post: 136922, member: 14776"] As has been said and documented, there are no practical limits to how much power could be argued for, if your needs are full HD-DVD/BR h264 playback with post-processing, audio decoding etc. What is perhaps missing is good statistics on what kind of hardware is needed for a given set of responsivity/task tables. For instance, playing back CDs may not demand all that, but if you have a 200.000 song mp3 collection, you may feel that a fairly powerful PC is sluggish when searching and browsing playlists. For tv-viewing and DVD-playback I think that you can get by with very modest hardware. On the oter hand, some people think that DVD-playback needs a lot of FFDShow processing, leaving us to the "no PC is fast enough" situation. -k [/QUOTE]
