I have a 6600GT that I use with socket 754 Athlon at 2.2Ghz. I setup a
custom profile with the standard decoder and OpenGL rendering, using one
of the HW acclerated de-interlacers - I believe Bob 2x. But it does
play ATSC HD, both 720P and 1080i.
Not sure how much the OpenGL rendering offloads from the CPU - the
Athlon 1800+ may not be enough.
I agree with the other poster - a PCI VDPAU card seems like a better
idea at this point, and I will eventually switch to one as well - OpenGL
seems just a bit less stable, at least in my situation.
