><br></div></div>Well unfortunately I've tried w/o XvMC and it can't handle it. It's<br>got like virtually no L2 cache and its based on the old mile long<br>pipelined P4s so it gets confused easily.<br><br>
I have an AMD (Athlon 64 3200 maybe?) system in the basement that<br>handles HD just fine with or without XvMC.</blockquote>

<div>I've found the FX5200 cards to be as good as good can be for XvMC support. Anything beyond that has been hit or miss it seems.</div>
