Here's a quote from hothardware.com:

Quote :

VGA:
Integrated ATI Radeon X1250-based graphics
Maximum shared memory of 256 MB
Supports HDMI Technology with HDCP compliant with max. resolution 1920 x 1080p
(It may not display 1080p smoothly when playing HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc due to current version player limit)



You will need to have a powerful CPU like the E6600 or X2 5000+ to (more or less) guarantee smooth playback using any card with weak HD decoding hardware.

I would look for an ATI 2400 or nVidia 8500 for hardware decoding.

There is no such thing as a stupid question.
But there are stupid people.
