</div>I missed that, it would have to be in powersave mode, I did not think AMD ever<br>
made any 64-bit processors that went that slow, except in powersave mode. What<br>
is the full info out of "cat /proc/cpuinfo", and does it speed up when you are<br>
trying to watch video?<br>

<br>So, this machine "should" be able to display 720p using xvmc and bob de-interlacing, if I am reading the chart on the wiki correctly (thank you to the person who pointed me to that)!<br><br>But, I am stll confused as to why it won't play the output from the HDTV card. It looks like my HD test file, which as I mentioned plays beautifully, is 1080 (again, assuming I'm interpreting this right). Here is the relevant-looking part of what mplayer says when I play it:<br>
