[QUOTE="rtv, post: 169691, member: 12309"] As MP only relies on the underlying codecs / filters it doesn't matter from the GUI's point of view. On a budget there's at least on cheap card that does full HD-acceleration: AMD's HD2900Pro - it's about 90 EUR here - maybe 110 bucks for you. If you can get a Nvidia 8600 GTS for cheap it would be an alternative. With either of these cards the cpu is almost only used for decoding the copy protection - therefore go for any recent dual core and you'll be happy with it (A AMD X2 will show about 30% cpu load when the graphics card does the h.264 decoding). Don't forget to add a license for Cyberlink's PowerDVD or get hardware where it's bundled with. [/QUOTE]
