Which CPU/RAM is required to playback 720p/1080p movie?
When I try to playback the 720p/1080p HD quality video (avi, wmv or mkv) files downloaded from easynews/bittorrent using my laptop, I see lots of gaps in the video.
My laptop is ThinkPad X40, 1.40GHz Pentium and 1G RAM. I assign a certain amount of RAMs to the browser and VMware and when I shut down these apps, the playback gets sligthly better but still with gaps.
How many CPU/RAM is required to play them on Mac/VLC?
