1080P Configuration? - sensei73 - 2008-09-22
Well I love XBMC interface But My actual Configuration can't handle 1080p videos. (Pendium D 820 2x2.8Ghz with 2Gb of RAm)
So my question is : Is this configuration will handle 1080p decoding videos:
Athlon 64 x2 4850be (2x2.5Ghz)
Ram 2Gb
Motherboard: Asus M2N-VM with integrated nvidia GeForce7050PV and HDMI?
Thanks in advance

Yes. But wouldnt hurt to get a little faster CPU and more RAM, but it will do fine.

Sometimes it isn't just about hardware specs. In my experience you need coreavc to get 1080p videos to play correctly (at least for h264 vids). Both of my computers can play 1080p videos fine with Mediaportal (or media player classic) and coreavc. However, XBMC uses ffmpeg, which isn't quite up to par with coreavc. Either FFmpeg will close the performance gap or the guys at XBMC will figure something out. I like XBMC better than Mediaportal, so I'm anxiously waiting and can't wait to see what XBMC can do on a PC.

Don't forget that XBMC is free
Well I have to Decide between a AMD X2 4850e (2x2,5ghz) or an AMD Phenom 9550 (4x2,2ghz). Witch one will be the best for 1080p decoding? (even killa sampla)
Does ffmpeg is well multitreaded? In that case the phenom will be a better choice?

No FFmpeg only scales to two threads on CERTAIN types of video. So for now the quad is useless. You need clock not cores. AFAIK no one has got the killa sampla to play smoothly on any AMD cpu, so if you haven't bought anything yet, you may want to consider intel.

Sorry, I thought you were asking if you should upgrade to new hardware, so I figured the cost of coreavc would be far less than all new hardware. I also think the XBMC team will get 1080p video working eventually, so if I were deciding against upgrading hardware and waiting for them to get it working, I'd wait. But if you are buying stuff anyway, then disregard my advice.

I suggest you get a Q6600. It's cheap and will easily clock to 3GHz. Yes, the four cores will not be of much use in the current version of the software....but at that price youcan't go wrong ;-)

Unless power/heat are a concern, in which case the 45nm cores are a MUCH better choice.
