[QUOTE="sourada, post: 133303, member: 46631"] You'll want to investigate the role of the video card/GPU, too. Lots of GPUs these days offer colorspace conversion, DCT acceleration, etc., which help in the performance of video playback. However, integrated GPUs, which maybe you're running in your SFF PC, are not all very strong in video acceleration. The problem is that I think it's a bit of an art to find the right combination of GPU and codec to get good speed. One thing I can say is that with my Athlon XP 3200/1GB/NVidia 6800 setup, I can watch 1080i or 720i at 1280x1024. The CPU hits about 75% at that point (I'm a little surprised that the CPU load is the same for either). So, it seems possible that the GPU in your setup may be the bottleneck, since my CPU alone probably wouldn't explain the difference in HD performance. [/QUOTE]
