Well, not seen many mpeg2 encoded stuff. I can't even play those HD
trailers in Quicktime but then that's Quicktime for you... :p But we're on
about a old 32bit Thoroughbred XP2400+ here so I don't think this 2ghz will
do it... Hence thinking on the upgrade option. Shame it's the complete
deal though, hence looking at the cheapest I can get away with. At least
with 1080i playback. Since the rented lcd I have can do that, nothing
more....
