Try again! I have succeeded to have 1080p playback on a system that is from 2003 :
1.7 GHz Pentium M (Banias 1MB L2 Cache)
512 MB Ram (DDR)

CoreAVC is not efficient. I have had much better results using FFDShow and KMPlayer (which has native decoding)
CPU usage is high : 70% for 720p and 90-100% for 1080p, but is plays well
(note this is watching videos with subs – like most of the world does…)

Well, if Snake can download it i guess he should struggle a little with the file. Btw, have 8gb ram myself, a ssd disk, 3.4 X4 and everything runs smooth. Ubuntu with swap (/tmp) on ram rather than disk. Works like a charm!

In conclution ladies and gentlemen, snake should get a new computer.

Just so you know PCIe x1, x2, x4, x8 and x16 will all work in an x16 port. I’ve used an x1 card in an x16 port and it works fine.

According to my opinion, codecs bla bla dont work… you may have the least possible specifications to run 1080p as mentiond

3.6ghz pro
512mb Video mem
2.5 gb ram

In the minimum system requirements for CoreAVC, you forgot one thing (which puzzled me for years).

I've got a 3ghz CPU with 256mb of Video Memory.

It was running HD fine until one time when the power shut out, it seems that my BIOS had been reset/reconfigured.

I couldn't watch HD smoothly anymore, it puzzled me, but soon I found out that the system memory's clock speed also plays a crucial role, it should be at least 400mhz above to play it fine, Mine was set to 333mhz when it didn't play well.

Can you comment on the expansion slot please?
I'm about to buy Zotac GeForce GT220 512MB (PCIe 2.0 x16)
While my motherboard is ASUS P5KPL-AM SE (ONLY SUPPORTS PCIe x16)

The Million Dollar Question is…will it do if the video card only runs at PCIe 1.1 ?

[...] and quality as compared to the top of the line. Top of the line codec performance is showcased by CoreAVC, that lets you play 1080p smoothly, even on low-end machines (1.5Ghz Dual core, low-end [...]

Man thanks very very much for this article and advice! You helped me a lot! Now I can watch 1080p movies smoothly on my Pentium 3.2 Ghz single core, just because I have installed CoreAVC, its such amazing software! Great job! Recommended to everyone!

PLEASE HELP ME! I am trying to play a very large (38gb) FullHD 1080p movie (Avatar) but I'm having problems! It is extremely choppy/laggy when I use VLC Media Player. I've tried Windows Media Player but that is even worse! I read the comments and someone mentioned that KMplayer was good and I downloaded it. Well that doesn't even work! When I choose the file to open it opens and plays but the video is extremely tiny! When I set it to full-screen all I see are hues of blu and purple! What player can I use? I have a crappy Dell Vostro, here are the specs:

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E400 @ 2.20GHz and 1GB of RAM

Please help me!

Thank you for your info page,
It save me a lot to build a new PC for just only to see 1080p video.

Using CoreAVC the & my videos play flawlessly.

Oh!I can't download coreAVC 2.0 because it requests to buy it no trial version for me. Can you help me now about this problem?

Klite is a good free codec, but it consumes more CPU and video jerks alot. Setting higher priority will literally freezes other apps or make them sluggish. And videos varies within 1080p, a higher bitrate one may not run as smooth. Coreavc always does it optimally, so you save power, extend battery, still run videos smoother. It had been a great investment for me

oh there's a FREE, 10x better, simpler method.

Download “KMPlayer”. Its recommended by most 1080p rippers.

I can now run Full HD, 1080p content butter-smooth on my 1GB, 1.8Ghz Core SOLO laptop(yes, you read that right!).

there's another way…
download “K-Lite mega codec pack”,
open 1080p file on the newly installed “Media Player Classic”,
open “task manager” by pressing ctrl-shift-escape,
In the “Processes” tab, right-click the “mpc” process,
change the “Priority” to “Above Normal”.

Bingo
