You will have no problems with 1080p with hd audio on an N network or a Gigabit wired connection.

VLC chokes on HD video files with 24 bit audio. won't play them. Media Player Classic plays them without a hitch.


I have an Acer Aspire Revo r3610. It's very quiet and uses little power. Works great if you use software that supports hardware acceleration. This moves the video calcs from the atom to the ion chip.

Windows Media Center can also be tweaked to play mkv files. Pretty sure it does gapless flac now also.

I use foobar and media player x64.
