[QUOTE="JSchuricht, post: 1164217, member: 87223"] It depends on what dual core you are talking about. If it's a Pentium D prescott or Atom pineview then yes, it's too slow. If it's a somewhat modern Celeron, Pentium, i3, laptop i3/i5/i7 then you should be fine. I built a system for my sister using a 2013 Celeron G1610 I had laying around which is dual 2.6GHz ivy bridge and it works great for 1080P X264. If you plan on doing other stuff than playing movies, then a faster CPU with more cores could be useful. [/QUOTE]
