I went to http://www.cyberlink.com/ and downloaded their test tool.
My computer is more powerful than most but it still doesn't pass
the tests. The adoption rate for either if these new formats is
going to be real low for a long time when people can't even use
them in a relatively high-end PC.
I do not intend to replace my PC for at least 2 years because it
is an AMD Athlon 64 3700+ with 1GB of RAM and 320 GB HD.
These specs are still not enough to get the job done. The entry
level for these new disks is simply too high for me to be
interested.
