I've a sempron 3000+, 512mb ddr, geforce2 mx440 card and HD3000 card. I can playback fine without stuttering using the nvidia 7174 driver with about 80-90% cpu busy. I can play both 720p and 1080i. Though 1080i has more cpu usage. You didnt say what video card do you have on the intel pc. That really depends on the processing of the HD. Nvidia drivers do offload mpeg2 to VGA conversion on the hardware so it does help.
Thanks for the detail. I never saw a problem with stuttering during playback of the sample tst.ts file provided by pchdtv.org. I also tried a few other HDTV demo clips I have and didn't see a stutter problem with them either. The problem is mainly the over all quality of the image in the tst.ts test file offered on the pchdtv.com download page. My own demo clips from other sources look just fine and my concern is that the test clip provided by pchdtv.com shows how poor the video recorded from the HD3000 is. I hope that's not the case! :)
The card in the P4 (the current MythTV box) is a lowly ATI 7500 PCI running at 1280x720 and hooked via DVI to my Panasonic HD L500U projector. When I get the HD3000 card (I haven't ordered yet, I'm still concerned about image quality of the sample clip as described above) I'll also be updating the ATI video card to something better.
