Hah, yeah, they may well have done it on purpose now that I think about it.

Depends on the sheer processing power of your PC, dual core is entry level but if you can step it up to quad core. Oh as far as players go, I run all my MKV files through VLC, it'll play dam near anything. And if you have a droid phone, it's possible to use the phone as a http-wifi remote. I can start VLC up in my driveway as soon as I get back from work and have whatever file I choose to play ready and going by the time I get to my living room. If any of you have a big flat panel television, hook the PC up to it and enjoy the amazing quality like never before.
You don't need a quad-core to play HD. An E6600 (2.4GHz C2D) plays Avatar in 1080p with 60-70% CPU usage.

CPU clock speed isn't everything, more like the clock+architecture. Graphics cards only help in reducing CPU load during video playback if you use compatible software.

As for RAM, FULL-HD Avatar played using MPC and codecs from the latest CCCP build uses <200MB of RAM.

My firefox uses more.
