your config is ok for Divx but for HD movies I would recommend at least a core duo proc and a graphic card which support HD VC-1 (minimum : ATI HD2600 or nvidia 8400)

Hi greg,
do you mean that it is not possible, or
when playing HD movies it would stammer and sometimes would not responde, etc.
if it would work also 80% of the time, its good enough for me...
