We generally don’t use integrated graphics. You might not use integrated graphics. But there are more motherboards with integrated graphics sold than discrete cards, according to data published last year by Jon Peddie Research. That means you probably have friends and family buying systems with built-in graphics engines.

Guess what happens when the work day is done and you take them into battle with you through a little Enemy Territory or Company of Heroes? Poor performance likely gets them killed over and over. Talk about a real bummer. We're WoW junkies ourselves, and you can’t imagine how many of the guys blame raid wipes on the speed of their graphics cards.

    As i heard this baby can be overclocked upto ~90%
    and smooth HD playback is possible even with a sloppy Sempron 3200+

    im not sure a sempron 3200+ can play high quality HD very well, cuz even the Athlon64 3200+ i have cant cope with some HD videos, but using VC-1 or for H.264 Core AVC might smooth it out

    Whats ur GPU machan,iirc u've sold ur x300 neda :DI'm not telling anything is wrong with HD playback,i mean it greatly offloads CPU from video decoding burden,my 8600GT keeps CPU at ~10% usage when playing 1080p videos

    aww yes the pure video 2 newest revision is very good at handling HD h.264 stuff but not VC-1, ur 8600 has pure video 2 of a early revision, its a bit slower but still very capable

    Sorry to say all Geforce 8400/8500/8600/8800GT s are PureVideo -2 supported,venerable 8800GTX/GTS and 7 series cards are PureVideo-1:D

    you can download some very demanding H.264 videos from the apple movie trailer site, look for the Fountain 1080p trailer it has some really nasty rain seen where it needs a lots of horse power, nways my core 2 can handle almost all the HD vids with no probs cuz its @ 3.2 Ghz, itll slow a Northwood to a crawl, the most demanding HD videos iwe watched are BBC planet earth 1080p HD DVD the download is 45GB and without hardware acceleration it eats up 70% of ma core 2 @ 3.2GHz at times.
