The video card will not help with uncompressed AVIs, period, nor a Quadro, nor will a fast 2D card, unless the 2D card you're using can't handle 1600x1200@xxHz. You need a hard disk with short access time and defragged (the AVI should be contiguous), and fast memory. Uncompressed AVIs should barely use the CPU at all. Why are people telling him he needs this insanely fast dualcore CPU for this??
And the dual AMD X2 won't help him in the least with uncompressed video either.
A Quadro strives for accurate AA and it's used for 3D all the time. It's no better than a Radeon 7500 for 'applications'.
Here is the glaringly obvious information it's not a CPU speed problem. RAM is a lot faster today than it was 5 years ago.
I just felt like clearing some things up here, hopefully in a non-aggressive tone. Anyhow a drive of this caliber is what you'll want (if that's big enough):

The 6600s don't have it either. For the X1600XT it has yet to be released.avoid the 6800 cards as they have a broken video encoder.
A Quadro would be the most ideal card as its very function is to give 100% of its power to applications and NOT! 3D gaming so the drivers are tweaked for apps.
