Title: CPU requirements for playing video clips
Post by: jahc on July 11, 2003, 06:58:27 AM

What speed CPU do you need to watch Divx movies? Divx is the most CPU intensive video format used at the moment right? I'm wondering what speed A1 I'll need to get, because I view a lot of video clips.. (Red Dwarf, Family Guy, Dragonballz music videos, misc #### off the web, as well as .. cough.. other stuff.)

-Edit- My friends P3@600MHz struggles with some clips apparently.. so, obviously I'll need something a bit better than that.

400MHz G3 for 640x480 clips eh... hmmm, a G3 XE should do fine then.
