Will this hardware run TS properly?
I'm putting together an HTPC for a friend. Currently, I have this hardware:
2200+ Thoroughbred
nForce2 mobo
2x 256MB PC2700 (for dual channel)
Radeon 9200SE...haven't decided to buy 64MB or 128MB version
DVI -> HDMI on 51" Sony Wega rear projection
Philips Acoustic Edge 5.1 Digital
It will have some trouble playing WMV-HD, that's true, but he will only play TS. Is the CPU enough for TS? Also, will it matter if I buy a 64MB or 128MB vid card?

I have a lesser set-up and it can play just about everything fine (without a lot of post processing)...with onboard graphics even. Except for the new nVidia cards, the graphics cards don't assist much with video playback, minor MPEG acceleration (DCT and CS conversion).
You might have issues with 1080i streams.

what codec and player will i need to take advantage of hardware assist MPEG2 on my AIW 9800Pro...
I played a TS clip in zoomplayer "renderless" mode using intervideo codecs...but i assume this was a software only playback...
could i not get better pefermoance with DXVA mode playing ATSC TS clips 1920x1080i...?

If it happens that there is some stuttering, upgrading the CPU should be adequate, correct? What would I need to upgrade it to? Keep in mind, I'm trying to be as cheap as possible.

The 9600 isn't that much more--I wish I'd popped for that instead of the 9200SE I bought (but I was just trying to fix a boot issue--not really planning on using the card for video).
For about $250 more you could add a MyHD-130 card, but to go the DVI route with that it would be a bit more money (and the DVI daughtercard for the 130 isn't out yet). Then you'd be able to play TS files and only be using about 10% of the CPU cycles. But you'd add a lot of functionality (assuming you're not doing MCE).
