What advanced features might benefit me?
What is DXVA?
Plenty of decoding features.
DXVA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectX_Video_Acceleration
Offloading decoding the video onto the the graphics card. I have a 7yr old athlon xp which is happily playing 1080p videos flawlessly with DXVA

For video I'd say MPC-HC with Coreavc or ffdshow. And AC3filter until recently had some issues with it, YMMV.
Yeah I've used coreavc ... still pretty heavy on the cpu though
