Is your PC ready for HD DVD or Blu-ray?

[Eman]

Cyberlink has recently launched a diagnostic tool that checks if your system is blu-ray or HD DVD ready.

The tool is free and can be downloaded here : http://www.cyberlink.com/english/sup.../diagnosis.jsp

I would guess that some hardware upgrades would be required...such as a blu-ray drive, appropriate codecs either software based or hardware based, a monitor capable of displaying HD resolutions, and of course processing power (CPU-MEM).

Its very early in the blu-ray game at this time.

How much resolution does it take to see the actor's makeup covering the pimple?

Every component has to be HDCP compatible as well as the software. This includes, motherboard, graphics card (with HDMI) monitor and even the Operating System. Of course a Blu Ray and HD-DVD drive will be HDCP anyway.

Most people will not be able to just stick a drive in and get it working.
