There does seem to be a consensus that my computer is too slow. Ok.<br>
<br>
Also someone mentioned that I could get an Nvidea card that would handle<br>
the decoding.<br>
<br>
What is the best approach? Getting a brand new box is too expensive for<br>
me right now so I would be buying an ex-lease or second hand. How do I<br>
judge that a machine has sufficient resources?<br>
<br>
If I go the video card route where is the best place to get info about<br>
how to use a card and with the plethora of busses how do I make sure I<br>
get one that will fit in my machine?<br></blockquote><div><br>Definitely get a vdpau capable video card for less than $100 playback will be flawless<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
