Sony BDUX10S – BUYER BEWARE

[Obiit]

Tuba don't give up.

Brandens statement is correct - HD content is CPU intensive IF you don't have a graphics card that will accelerate it. Your 9600GT will accelerate HD content http://www.nvidia.com/content/purevideohd/pv_learn.html so you don't need a new CPU.

People seem to be getting hooked up on CPU usage. If your graphics card GPU accelerates HD content you don't need a high powered CPU. Some graphics cards are better than others at it but if you get an Nvidia 8600 (or above) or an ATI 2600XT (or above) you will be fine with almost any modern CPU.

The only thing stopping you from playing blu-ray is a drive and software player - your old one is on it's way back to amazon - go get a Pioneer BDC-202 at about £85 and your choice of software player. You don't have to spend the earth to get blu-ray

P.S.
