I know my Athlon 64 3000+ (1.8) with Nvidia 6200 no XVMC can do 1080i 
playback  at about 70% CPU, which still allows it to record 1HD and 1SD 
channel while playing back no problems.  As for 1080p, I have tried an 
h.264 version of Terminator 2 and was unable to get it to play, CPU was 
pegged at 100%.  This file did play on my Windows box with a 4200+ X2 
and Radeon x1900, but it was still hammering the CPU.  The 720p version 
played on my Mythbox without problems though.

 I guess it could depend on what compression was used on the 1080p 
video, but I doubt an x264 video will play on the 1.8ghz CPU without a 
lot of help from the video card.
