I have a HD3000 capturing all kinds of content on my backend server. I have been able to tweak my P4 2.53 533FSB to almost play HD content smoothly. I am now trying to come up with the most cost effective way to play HD content smoothly, with spdif and YPbPr connections. I love my via M10000 runing linpvr, but the CLE266 just doesn't cut it. Can anyone confirm or deny that the core duo can play back; smoothly Full HD 1080i recordings? The guys over at logic supply have an interesting board, that I think would be a good solution if I can get the play back going.

If I am totaly out in left field here, I would love suggestions on the cheapest way to play hd content smoothly, the only other option I see now, would be a pentium 4 630, or a pentium d something.
