I'm asking which amd processor would I need in order to safely do VC-1 in
software... I currently run dual core 4400+, which i KNOW is not enough.
I also have AM2 motherboards, not AM2+, hence the specification in the
question.  I cannot buy an AM3 or a core2 chip and put it in my AM2
motherboard, so it's really irrelivant what AM2+/3 or core2 chip can do it
:)

I bought it ~5 weeeks ago.   How can I tell what it is?
I bought this exact one :
http://www.auspcmarket.com.au/index.php?redir=http://www.auspcmarket.com.au/show_product_info.php?input[product_code]=SYN-EN8400GS-SILENT-HTP-512M-A&input[category_id]=

Asus's site seems to show only one EN8400GS with 512mb... did they silently
release two models?
