i have pentium 4 with 2.26 ghz and 1.25 gb ram.. but i am unable to play videos of high quality . when i try to play the sound is fine but the video plays slow. Is there any media software from which i can play those videos . I have tried media player codes, power dvd latest but no success. I will be thankful if any one could guide me.

Use KMPlayer its best playing HD content, then again, not having a dedicated GFX card may be another reason for ur problem.

You can't

you can't even play 720p videos on p4 forget 1080p videos without dedicated gfx.

No player can help you.

Thanx all for the suggestions . I want to ask celldweller1591 that with my configuration can i play HD videos without graphics card installed from latest vlcx or KM player????. I tried to play in HP laptop but it didnt played. BUt in core 2 duo pc it played easily. Last question is which is the minimum graphic card needed for me so that i can play those HD videos.
