Sorry I missed your reply a few days ago. Since my job began blocking
gmail, I've had a difficult time keeping up with the list.
Prior to my cpu upgrade, I was able to get smooth playback of HD
network broadcasts, 1080i at various bitrates. Now, with the 2GHz, HD
playback results in about 50% cpu usage. So the upgrade gives me more
headroom to leave other apps open, but I don't think it was necessary
for playback.
My display is 720p - would that make a difference to the cpu?
