My setup is a Gigabyte GA-E350N using the onboard graphics and 4GB of ram running windows 7.

I have tried CCCP codec pack and just standalone MPC. The problem is that it struggles with some of the larger MKV files. Seems to be anything above 9GB 1080p that is stutters and skips.
720p seems fine and so does mkvs of under 9GB even in 1080p.

Now is this just the limits of the board I have reached? Would it help to add a nice quite graphics card to offload most of the work to. As it seemed to be hitting 95% cpu load when it was stuttering.
If adding the graphics wont help Think it might be time to sell up and move onto more dedicated itx boards and add a cpu and graphics card. Any ideas?
 
Everything I have read says its supported and silky smooth playback of mkv. Cant see anywhere to enable it in drivers so must be on by default. Will try the live cd version. Quite disappointing when something like this happens and you think wait my little 70 quid playon hd plays 19GB mkvs without an issue :(
