Well I am using it with xbmc and I can play bluray movies no problem. You could get nvidia video card or this celeron cpu/ motherboard.

Yes. I used it to replace an Athlon II X2 270 3.4 Ghz and the performance was far superior.

Yes, it will handle it. I currently have this card setup in my HTPC and it is confirmed capable of running Blu Ray and Blu Ray 3D.

i wanted to know that too so i asked pioneer by email."do i need an explicit 3d labeled blu-ray drive to play 3d movies? or do ijust need a 3d SOFTWARE capable?as opposite of the BDR-209DBK model (wich explicite says 3D capable), thisone doesn't say anithing about 3d compatible anywhere on theexpecifications."their answer: " The BDR2209 is not 3-D capable.Thank You,Pioneer Customer Service"so i dont know if it has to be an special reader for 3d or what!. i thought it was only a 3d software but after that answer i dont know what to think anymore. i wanted to know that too so i asked pioneer by email."do i need an explicit 3d labeled blu-ray drive to play 3d movies? or do ijust need a 3d SOFTWARE capable?as opposite of the BDR-209DBK model (wich explicite says 3D capable), thisone doesn't say anithing about 3d compatible anywhere on theexpecifications."their answer: " The BDR2209 is not 3-D capable.Thank You,Pioneer Customer Service"so i dont know if it has to be an special reader for 3d or what!. i thought it was only a 3d software but after that answer... » Read More i wanted to know that too so i asked pioneer by email."do i need an explicit 3d labeled blu-ray drive to play 3d movies? or do ijust need a 3d SOFTWARE capable?as opposite of the BDR-209DBK model (wich explicite says 3D capable), thisone doesn't say anithing about 3d compatible anywhere on theexpecifications."their answer: " The BDR2209 is not 3-D capable.Thank You,Pioneer Customer Service"so i dont know if it has to be an special reader for 3d or what!. i thought it was only a 3d software but after that answer i dont know what to think anymore. « Show Less

Thanks. I am assuming from all these answers that the Eee PC processor (Atom N270 or N280) is beefy enough to show the video without jerkiness or other problems?

Hi, an Intel Celeron 450 seems to take a singular cpu socket 775, But depending on when your motherboard bios was installed you may or maynot need to do a Bios upgrade to enable it to support the either the Intel E-8400 Core dueo or the e-8500 Both are duel core cpus and both are very fast. I've owned both of them . they can even play many newer games very well , not counting how powerful your Video card is or not. To be sure on changing out your cpu I would strongly suggest contacting Dell to verify if the cpu upgrade your thinking of doing is possible, Dell support should have no problem giving you this information.Best of luck with doing your upgrade.

Most notebooks have the CPU soldered to the motherboard. I installed this processor in a desktop PC. This media server is still running strong 4 years later. I would check the AMD website for socket comparability. Good luck with your upgrade.

Thanks R. Oxhorn and Noaxtogrind. You asked and answered my question. Just got the Samsung BD5700 for a gift and hope Samsung does update the Blu-ray to access Amazon's streaming.

Hi John, I have the G750JX & my packig slip from Computer Upgrade King says it's a full HD Blu-Ray. The Asus web site says it has Blu-Ray DVD Combo Super-Multi DVD Blue-ray Writer I haven't used the Blu-Ray drive except for loading software. I don't have any Blu-Ray movies so I can't play them to verify it for you. I can't specifically say yes or no but an email to the supplier you would purchase that from could be helpful. My purchase was from Computer Upgrade King in VA. Phone # 800-985-9364. Sorry I wasn't of more help.

I have a Dell Optiplex 980/I-5 Processor with an Hp bd340 BlueRay Player that I installed it on and it played them right out of the box. No problems at all! Go for it!

Not sure. But as far as I know It can play videos and much more. Not sure about intel processing.

It will work. You may be able to unlock another core if you are fortunate. I agree with N1ghtmare - if you want to game, get an FX. I use this processor in an HTPC and I unlocked a core. If you happen to not be able to unlock the 2nd core, you don't have much for a CPU.

It should work just fine but if your computer is still IDE and you should also look into getting a better graphics card for your computer for it to play blu-rays and you can find ones that will work just fine on amazon for around $25-$50

Your Phenom 9650 cpu is one the support list, you can use your ddr2 ram, it has pci-e 2.0 slots for your video card. You can use the rest of your components like your power supply and dvd drive. I would suggest you buy a new hard drive and new operating system though like windows 7 or windows 8. I could not use my old windows vista hard drives because I couldn't get it to boot. So I got a new hard drive and windows 7 operating system.

Depends on what kind of games you want to play, but my guess is that it won't work well. The processor is very limited, which is great when serving movies, music and pictures, but anything remotely difficult, such as rendering game images, and you'll run into problems.

I could have sworn that I read somewhere that a future firmware upgrade would indeed make this player 2.0 profile -- I wonder if they decided to stick a gig of memory in it, and that's why it's taking so long to come out to market - they had to wait for the profile to be finalized before they could produce the product. EDIT: I just read this: "The Blu-ray Disc Association has specified that all hardware sporting the official Blu-ray logo that hits the market after the Halloween holiday must be able to play back picture-in-picture video via BD-Java. The mandate also decrees that all Blu-ray players must hold a minimum 256MB of persistent memory storage, which will help power the picture-in-picture feature. Finally, any Blu-ray player that features an Internet connection is required to have 1GB of such memory, in order to hold whatever content users decide to download from the Web." Therefore, since this player has an ethernet port, I would think that it would have to have that 1 GB of memory.

PAL is often a lose reference to 25fps material, and there are blurays with 25fps video, i.e. pal blurays. this will play 25fps HD content (I believe I played a 25fps AVCHD, although I could not see any picture since my tv won't do 50hz. I assume it was working ok as audio was being output and as my tv was saying the video signal was unsupported). however it will not play PAL DVDs, and obviously unless you get a region free it won't play anything that's not 1 or A.

I am sorry I can't answer specifically as we are running it on an intel 2quad proc q6700 (2.66HGZ). This computer was purchased in Jan 2008 with windows Vista. Now running windows 8 with 4bg of memory. Even on this 6 year old computer, the Ceton is running great. I did have a couple of issues with the 58" Samsung connected to this computer, but Ceton responded immediately through their troubleshooting system. No issues since the original setup.
