Yeah thats what I suspected. My pc currently runs with no lag even when playing 720p videos. It does however lag with 1080p. I didn't really believe the websites requirement tool. I think it only tests for optimal performance. And yea it is 1.43 gb ram. Two 500 mb's sticks and two 256 mb sticks.

My gaming laptop is an Asus G73J

Intel i7, 2.66GHz

ATI Radeon HD 5870 w/ 1GB DDR5

8GB DDR 3

500GB 7200rpm HDD

17.3" Screen

Windows 7 Ultimate

College/Light gaming laptop is a Toshiba Satellite C655D-S5084

AMD Athlon II P340, 2.2GHz

ATI Radeon HD 4250

4GB DDR3

500GB 7200rpm HDD

15.6" Screen

Windows 8

EDIT: Both are great laptops for what they are, I tend to use the Toshiba a bit more because its a lot more portable then then Asus laptop is but both are great performers.

The Toshiba has also been upgraded a bit, the original hard drive was a 250GB 5400rpm HDD and it only came with 2GB of ram. Been thinking about upgrading the CPU in the Toshiba as well since the NB chipset can support a Quad Core CPU.

[Off-topic] Dirk:
You omitted the most important bit of information. At what resolution are you playing at?

Depends more on the GPU capability. If you have a discrete card that supports DXVA playback it makes things a helluva lot better. If not, a 2.2GHz Pentium will struggle. Remember too that bitrate is a huge factor. The higher the quality, the harder it is to play back.

Also, stay clear of codec packs They're not needed and haven't been for a long time. MPC-HC will play back anything you throw at it without the need to install any extra bloatware. Some people prefer VLC but having done side by side, out-of-the-box comparisons between the two players, MPC-HC had the better picture quality by far.
[Off-topic] runtohell121:
Might try that later, doesn't always happen though, occasionally it does.

Minecraft will not run well on an i3 processor. My Mrs has an i3 laptop and it just can't handle it. She gets maximum 15-20FPS and also the CPU sometimes crashes as Minecraft is so CPU hungry. Minecraft is better with i5+ or AMD Athlon x2. Also at the GHz your looking at he would only get about 10FPS. Minecraft requires Minimum 2Ghz Dual Core and 4GB RAM. And a graphics card with 512MB VRAM.

Any gaming that is 3D will need a dedicated Graphics Card with 1GB VRAM also a much faster CPU. A cheap and powerful option is to go with AMD. They are cheap and still very powerful along with an AMD Graphics card for example the Sapphire HD5770 1GB is perfect for gaming and developing.

If you're on your computer already, why would you want to turn on the PS3 just to watch some videos that are in HD? And if you already know your computer can't handle HD videos, you wouldn't be playing the videos on those computers anyways. In your first post, you weren't specific about using it in a specific location either.

Anyways, I'm done bashing on you. :silly: :p

I'm sure most computers can handle 720p videos, even the old Intel Atom N270 was able to do so as long as you have the right video players and codecs installed. But it also depends on how one converts their video. I had an Acer Aspire One w/ Intel Atom N270 and handles 720p fine, stutters on 1080p. Had a nettop with Intel Atom 230 w/ integrated Nvidia ION LE(9400), plays 1080p smoothly as long as you have the right codecs.

@Quasimodem: Here is the disk managment screenshot.

I quoted my previous post, with the explanation, but I will add a few more info.

The idea is to, in a close future (I just need to finish settings up my programs) to unnistall the Windows 7 (which is on the "Disco Local D:/" (Windows change the letters from the "Windows 8" and the other partition depending on which OS I am. The main, it becames C:/). Anyway, I have a hell lot of data there. I don't wanna risk loosing it.

I was going to first decrease the "Disco Local" size until whatever I can, and add it (dunno how, I am not being able to do that by anyway, dunno why) to the "Meus Documentos" (Media) partition, install a good software to do the copying (any recommendations?) and let at the night. When it is done, I would move the thing responsable for the booting thing to the W8 only, and format the partition, and add the rest to the Meus Documentos partition. I'd like to remove a bit from the Windows 8 partition. 100 Gb is too much. I don't need that for apps and programs.

The way I said is a good way, or you recommend me any other way? First, the result must be a 70 Gb C:/ Partition and the rest (it isn't real, but let put this) 930 Gb left to media. Second, I won't start over. That's out of question.

Yeah, Windows 8 is on a DVD. I installed with it. I don't know about that partition. It doesn't even show on the "My Computer" thing on Explorer.

[Off-topic] AtoZ0to9:
Here's what you should do... Use Windows 8 for the Disk Management... Save EVERYTHING off the large Windows 7 partition that's important to an external... Right click the 3.75gb partition and completely delete it... After saving things off the 7 partition, right click it and complete delete it as well... DO NOT REBOOT... the MBR has been wiped... Right click the Windows 8 partiton, choose expand, and let it expand to the maximum amount, it will also merge that 3.75gb... So you have two partitions, a very large Windows 8, and the 200gb Menus Documentos.... Put in the Win8 cd... Boot to it... Choose Recovery Console... repair your MBR with this article's instructions... Boot into 8... Go back to Disk Management and you will be left with 2 partitons... The big Win8 one, and your documents... Now you will be able to shrink the 8 partiton, and expand the Documents partiton...

When you guys say you have trouble with hd playback 720/1080 is it a specific video container that plays crappy for you or is it all hd container types.

If you don't make a separate partition installing OSX will erase and overwrite the current OS you have installed (Windows, Linux, etc.).
