No, on my old X2 @ 2.2GHz only WMV worked smoothly at 1080P, some formats was way to slow.

My distrust for hardware decoding has nothing to do with speed, it has to do with support. I want something that can play all formats in all containers. As far as I know ATi still don't have support for pixelmapped 1080P in Vista or Win 7.
