Currently got a first gen ion board, so clearly thats out, but how far do I need to go? Don't want to be upgrading the mpc that often, but equally it spends most of its time on, so don't want to end up going to far overboard...
*I admit, I only read the first 17 pages and the last 4, so there are a couple of pages I skipped.
I couldn't say for sure but I can give some examples.
AMD Opteron Dual-Core 2.2 GHz (this is like a ~2005 Socket 939 proc): Can't play 1080p 10-bit. All kinds of frame drops. 720p 10-bit seems to be okay in most cases.
Intel Core i7-870 Quad-Core 2.93 GHz: no problems.
So I suppose something in between those two.
