I compiled yesterday night, it works super-fast. My laptop was bought for 450? and has a GeForce 8400. Viewing the AVCHD file requires 10% computer power, nothing. Will make a short tutorial and upload it. Maybe you could upgrade your main board+CPU. According to Nvidia, the GeForce 8200 is supported. This one has integrated NVIDIA? GeForce 8200 for 71?: http://www.materiel.net/ctl/Socket_AM2/36501-A_N78HD.html Then add a dual athlon for 63?: http://www.materiel.net/ctl/Processeurs_socket_AM2/39417-Athlon_64_X2_4850e.html You can also add some inexpensive GeForce 9200 card.
