Can Core 2 Duo E6400 + 2 GB run 1080P movies?

jeremy0118 · Mar 17, 2016

Hi

Is the E6400 with 2 gb 800mhz good enough for smooth 1080p movies, using Kodi and PCT/mkv mostly.
No GPU on 1920x1080

Or would a Pentium Dual Core E2220 2.4 Ghz do better? Can get both for almost nothing to fit on my old motherboard.

It's certainly possible, but not recommended.... Anything over level 3.1 will likely start lagging. If you already have the machine just load up kodi and see if it works. If you don't have that computer, DON'T BUY IT! You can get an intel compute stick for about a hundred bucks and it WILL play 1080p and even 4K, while drawing less energy at full load than the e6400 will at idle

It can play it smoothly with low CPU usage with the help of a dedicated video card.

As this guy said, better take some GPU to unload CPU as its not that strong, but it should be able to do it.

It would play 4K even, provided you had a good modern GPU and plenty of RAM, a friends of mines HTPC is an old Athlon 64 Single core socket 754, 2GHz. built of scrap parts and a new case and GPU (something along these lines; http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133532) and 4GB RAM and hes playing 4K through his sony TV just fine. so yes your plenty fine especially at ol' 1080P
