AMD Athlon II X2 240 2.80 GHz

@ 2009/10/25
AMD's Athlon II X2 240 is set out to deliver a best-in-class experience for less than $60. Even though it has only two cores it can deliver in many benchmarks including gaming. Its attractive price point and undervolting capabilities also make it an interesting choice for a budget oriented media PC setup.

I guess then you are using CoreAVC ? COREAVC gives less picture quality..
Is the 1080p "heavy" (high bitrate)

without issue I assume, got a single core 2.4ghz Athlon which handles 1080p without a sweat
Comment from Justchill @ 2009/12/24
Got one today, let's see how it does 1080p bluray files
