    The X4500MHD would easily play HD content but the problem comes with the SU9300.. the SP9400 and NVDIA G105M would easily play HD content... but u'll get worse battery life.. you'll have to wait for someone else who has a CULV noteboook if u want a better answer.

    If you're offloading video playback to the GPU, the SU7300 should be more than sufficient to pick up whatever slack is left. You shouldn't need the SP9400 and G105M just to do that.

    No, what I'm saying is that if you use the X4500 as the primary device for video playback (as opposed to the SU7300), the SU7300 should be able to pick up whatever playback tasks that the X4500 can't handle. In other words, if your GPU is the primary playback device, you don't need a terribly fast processor to get smooth frame rates.

    Biri Biri means, if you use DXVA.

    It is possible with MPC:HC by itself (and apparently with a certain Cyberlink decoder), but I have yet to be able to use DXVA on my 4500MHD without artifacting.

    Yeah, listen to this guy. I've never actually tried to decode video on my X4500, though the specs and reviews say it can be done. Apparently support is still flaky.

    so i will conclude there no problem with 4500 su7300 combination or even the AMD Athlon(TM) Neo X2 Dual-Core L335 Processor (1.6GHz, 512KB) with ATI Radeon(TM) HD 3200 Graphics

    thanks alot guys
