Yup,i think so. i7? I see internet says going to phase out already.

Brother,don't look big at me. I have no plan currently. My plan now is to get a Zalman cooler to tame my HD2600.

Another member spotted to shift to i5.

I think S478 isn't so long compare to LGA775. S478 is about 4 years life time while LGA775 has been around for 6 years at least.

Someone spotted the RAM,lolz.

Cool,32" inches of LCD Tv....You might need a mid-range GC to support your TV right?

@mooneyes,you can get a cheapo lcd 17 inches with rm300+ only.U have plan shift to i7?Going to phase out already.

HD3850 sure can. ATI newer cards has capability to play HD1080 as the encoder is inside.

LCD TV also have extra,Sarawakians are really kaya.

Your rig sure can ,already more than enough. If cannot we can get CoreAvc to help too.HD3850 is the 2nd high end card after AGP 4650 from Gigabyte.

Since extra one,can sell to me with brother price?

No doubt,there will be a serious bottleneck there.

I know VIA chipset can make slight o/c from stock,not sure with your model. O/c the GC to get few more frames.

Yeah,HTPC i have is also a low profile one.Keep them as toy collector.I'm proud of being a P4 user here.

My HD2600XT is running great. I tried HD720 only,so far i don't have any HD1080 movie to playback. I ran 3D mark 06 on my proc and GC,seems like there is a little bottleneck on my proc on high resolution details as i have done some research on internet,with better proc like LGA775 + PCI-E based HD2600XT they are able to achieve 5k+/- while mine is around 3.3k only.

fylon tested his P4 3.0 with MX4000, no problem to play 720p also. kabu,no need to worry of the old school to playback HD movies.

1080P is slide show. I understand with no help from GC encoding is going to utilize high CPU usage. No doubt there is a huge gap,not big gap between P4 and Quad core. Going to DC?Hehe,i think the benchmark for Super PI 1M will be > 80s.

I think is the proc is running at 1.5GHz is going to be > than 100s.Set the RAM to run at CL2. 2-2-2-5.

Take a look of the print screen of this guy's rig. He was capable to play 1080P video playback with low cpu usage.

Added on July 1, 2009, 5:22 pm@fylon,i'm not sure what are the process and codec use to decode and encode a movie.It's kind of completed,all i know is my rig now is playing 720p smoothly.

Hmm,have no idea. Usually the screen will not freeze unless the Windows isn't clean enough.

I have no idea man. I bought the HD2600XT form him.Maybe i can pm him.

@kabukiawie, I'm not sure with that. Hardware acceleration with HD movie playback.I guess i have to PM him and ask for details.The link is showing that HD3xxx and above is able to support but i got other info from AMD website too.

@fylon,currently i'm with CoreAVC too. edmin has guided me how to force the mpc to use coreAVC codec. Previously my setting wasn't pointed at coreAVC.

@jcsy,I think you can force the software to use coreAVC codec to play HD movies. Did you set that?

@dlwl,
yes HD2xxx series has avivo but i have no idea how to use it.Lolz

Guys,you can try MPC Home Cinema.I PMed the guy and he said he was using MPC Home Cinema. He said coreAVC isn't going to utilize the hardware acceleration.

@Jcsy ,get yourself a HD2600XT man. Time to upgrade.
@edmin,i will try up the software MPC Home Cinema later.Hehe.

@edmin,i don't know how to use remote access from Windows leh. Can guide me ?

Added on July 2, 2009, 2:45 pm@edmin,klite mega kodec? I will try and see. Thanks for guiding.

@Jcsy,now can play 720p movies already?

@fylon,loot one unit of SATA HDD for me. I pay for poslaju fee.

@Jcsy,i think can play 1080p with no problem one. Need to tweak a bit.
