Re: x264 PC requirements
I have just tried one of my old 720p x264 files on my new laptop and without any customisation of codecs etc (just vista codec pack) they work fine with a cpu usage of 35-45% for windows media player.

Its only a 1.66GHz core 2 duo! I'm playing them over a wifi connection as well! It does speedstep the cpu down to 1.33GHz as well which would explain why it goes up from 35 to 45% as i loose 20% of my clockspeed.

I'm not sure if the video card is doing any decode assist, i havent set it up but its a AMD HD 2400
