Windows XP on AMD Duron 1 Ghz. CPU & 512 MB RAM. On this machine, I can't play ANYTHING in QT formats above 320 x 240 (Doing so just simply results in "freeze frame" playback). > I do have some issue btw that there's NO throttling on downloads > besides bittorrent. > > It tends to suck up every available bit of bandwidth.
