I'd say mostly the Graphics card<br>

You really need an nvidia 6x00 or above PCI/PCIe card to do HDTV as it<br>
does all the processing. Otherwise the CPU has to do all the work and<br>
you'll lose frames.<br>

I have a system with a Pentium-D E5200, nvidia 7x00 pci-e, and a<br>
Hauppauge Nova-T PCI card and it plays HDTV just fine, using 30% of the<br>
CPU.<br>
