Big can of worms! If you trade off CPU power for video GPU power and
want to run HD, I hear that nVidia with VDPAU support is the way to go.
People are watching HD on Atom processors with nVidia video.
If you get enough CPU horsepower (4-5GHz), almost any GPU will do.
Intel and AMD are playing catch-up to nVidia in the HD marketplace.
