[QUOTE="jwhyche, post: 145673, member: 19421"] I have a single core AMD 4000+, 1GB DDR, and a 128MB radeon 9700 pro AGP that plays the Nvidia pure HD demo just fine at 1920x1080i. Before that it had a AMD 3200+. It would play the same video video just fine for most of the time but would skip at the mountains. After the processor upgrade it plays every HD video that I can throw at it prefectly, Xvid, divx, and H2.64 AVC. An that is with a antique graphics card. I have the replacement card right here on my desk, a radeon 1300 Pro. I think a better question would be can you get by with a single core? The answer is, "yes you can" provide that is powerful enough and the rest of the hardware can keep up with it. [/QUOTE]
