Hi, i've been whatching movies on my htpc with regular video players, but when i try XBMC, some 1080p videos that used to run perfectly well, doesnt anymore.
My cpu is an AMD X2 5200+. Isnt that enough? What's the mininmun cpu speed to run 1080p videos on xbmc?

~3Ghz dual core. 1080p at high enough bitrate can saturate the memory bus with some onboard gfx, too.

So that means my cpu is more than enough to play 1080p videos on xbmc?
I have only 1gb ram with onboard videocard (that steals a portion of that memory). Can that be the problem?

if you 1080p video is vc1 , your cpu must 2 core and 3G up
if you 1080p video is h264, your cpu must be 2.2G up

Check how hard your cpu is working during playback of this video. From what I have read here, your CPU is borderline for 1080p playback in XBMC currently.
