hardware-requirements

A friend of mine has some HD videos (720p and 1080p), so i would like what are the hardware requirements in order to play them correctly with no slowing-downs ?

my computer is build of :

  Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.40GHz
    nvidia GeForce 5200 FX
    768 RAM

My friend said that it won't be possible to play the HD videos on my comp because of it's old hardware - is this true ? And again, what are the minimal hardware setup needed to play HD ?

Thanks.

I'm using handbrake, at the moment, to try and convert an mkv with… >>> More

I have a Core2Quad Q8200 (2.3GHz) with 4GB of RAM, a 512MB PCIe video card, and a SATA-2 HD. Yet it still isn't fast enough to edit 720i/p video in Sony Vegas or Adobe Premiere/Aftereffects. My RAM usage never peaks over 1.6GB, but my CPU cores make it to 95% quick! Right now the preview panes in… >>> More
