Hi.
Have an really old computer (all major components dates 2003-2004), and it's not capable to play full HD videos.
If I upgraded that old computer and upgraded to the latest (with best speck's) AGP graphic card avaiable - would that make the computer able to play full HD video files?
Those files is typically encoded with H264, mpeg4.
The computer have a AMD 2200 CPU and 2 GB RAM. OS Windows XP.
Can a really olc computer run HD if upgrading graphic card

AGP ? No way.
IMO the only way would be to use DXVA2 hardware acceleration but this requires Vista or better.
Or get at least a Core 2 Duo at 2.67 GHz, those can play 1080 videos in software mode.

Hi, thanks for answer.
A Core Duo can obviously not be used on that same MB, so therefore the project is abandoned
