HQV Benchmark 2.0 is an updated version of the original tool and it consists of various video clips and test patterns which are designed to evalute motion correction, de-interlacing, decoding, noise reduction, detail enhancement and film cadence detection.
There are two versions of the program, standard definition on DVD and high definition on Bluray. As our audience will be concentrating on HD content so will we.
This has a total of 39 video tests which is increased from 23 in the original and the scoring is also up from a total of 130 to 210. As hardware and software gets more complicated, the software has been tuned to make sure we can thoroughly maximise our analysis.

196 points is as good as it gets today and is the reference figure to beat.
Nice cheap system indeed. id like a passive cooler on the CPU, even to underclock and undervolt it. wonder is that possible?
2ghz would probably be more than enough for bluray playback.
I love passive video cards, dont think this one is really for gamers, but more for acceleraing video and stuff and being quiet. I like this system more than some of the high end things you review. , all about the green environm,ent too.
Nice, cheap setup and more than enough for most people. You could also replace that 6450 with something more powerful, although it would be noisier obviously
