[QUOTE="knutinh, post: 133327, member: 14776"] Anandtech has published tests of Bluray material at a peak rate of 41mbps and 1080@24p. I think this is a safe "worst case" material for now. They found that you could use something like a low-end Core2 (E6300-E6400) together with an Nvidia 8800, or a high-end Core2 X6800 alone without getting 100% cpu use (taken as a sign of possible frame-drops). I suspect that codecs will be refined so that you may be able to use slightly less powerful hardware shortly. Many people will tell you "no, no, I am playing back 1080p with my p4 2.0GHz just fine". Sadly, those people does not seem to understand that cpu use is a function of pixels/second, but also bits/second and codec amongs other things. regards Knut [/QUOTE]
