System req for 720p files

i'd love to play 720p files since i have my hdtv hooked up to my computer via
dvi but my system just can't handle them fast enough to play in any sort of
watchable fashion.

if some of you 720p watching folks out there could help me out by posting your
system specs or better yet, if you know it, the minimum specs required to run
these, it would help me out a lot. thanks

720p even works on a amd 3200+ singlecore with mediaplayerclassic and ffdshow.
cpu-usage is about 40-70%, but it works fine. 😉

i can't even play hr.hdtv in wmp, i have to use media player classic. i'm gonna
try a 720p to see. if i can't play it in windows i'm gonna try geexbox.

i was trying with vlc on a p4 3ghz, but it was awful. maybe i should have spent
less money on the tv and used to savings to upgrade.
