    its should do fine, even people with integrated videocards can play it.

    you have more than enough power to play Full HD content.

    I have a C100 with a celeron 1.6, 512mb of ram, and a GMA900 that can play 1080p apple trailers with 80% cpu usage. Its all in the codec's. Some are horrible (quicktime), some magically make the thing work with insanely low cpu usage on a proper machine (Quicktime Alternative with coreAVC).

    Are you sure the clip you played uses H.264 compression?

    if it was Quicktime file, then YES, it was using H.264 compression.
