This is the reason I ended up upgrade my AMD 64 3200+ system. I was tired of trouble-shooting XvMC and OpenGL settings to get something that worked. Now it works, just chews up all my CPU. I am using an nVidia 6600-OC card. It's PCI-Express. I just kept throwing money at the machine until I could watch HD without stuttering. My time was worth more to me than the cash I was spending on it. This is also the reason I don't run svn. I get too frustrated when things break so I'm using up to date .20 from ATrpms.

You really don't need two cores to do a single HD stream... maybe the problem is FC, but then, I've always had a distaste for Red Hat. Have you tried another distro? That does sound like a lot of money. What motherboard, what kind of memory, how fast, how much? Those items and possibly the OS is really all that seems to stand in your way to speed. I'm using a MSI Neo2 Platinum the one with NForce3 Ultra chipset, I have a gig of micron low latency DDR.
<br><br>Did you check to see if your using NvAGP? That could be killing you too. I think there are only certain chipsets that support it so check the doc first. But to get it working if it's not, put agp=off in your boot string and put NvAGP=1 in your
xorg.conf. Then when X loads, if possible, you'll be running with NvAGP.<br><br>-Greg<br>
