As far as I know, you don't need a strong computer at all to play HD movies... not only that, but you can probably play them with a pretty old/weak computer.


I really don't know what Bryan was referring to, and his statement really got me confused - since as far as I know, pretty much any computer can play an HD movie - let alone a 2.5GHz Core 2 Duo with 4GB RAM.


It's not like a game where there is a sophisticated rendering work for the computer and graphic card or like an editing tool which makes intensive and complicated computations as far as I know.


Correct me if I'm wrong.
