Hi

I'm sure this question has been asked many times before but I didn't find much with the search... So what is the minimum cpu needed to decode high definition video... Would a 2.6Ghz AMD X2 be ok?

Thanks
 
for a blue ray movie, I wouldn't think so -will be dropping frames!

it would be ok for h264 etc in .mkv's using core avc but with an actual bluray disc you will need some hardware decoding
