HD ready?

[vanthus]

I was shocked to see nero info tool telling me I need to upgrade my phenom IIx4 970 cpu & my HD 5870 gpu for HD readiness,as does windvd advisor tool.Thing Is I have no problems as yet, playing blu ray discs,or HD content.Any Ideas?

Specs seem fine to me? Very strange... I suppose the old saying "if it works, don't fix it" comes to mind

HD could refer to any resolution above 720 x whatever and im sure its running above that! Very odd result from those programs, perhaps its HDCP that isnt compliant on the monitor or something like that, just a thought.

Thanks for replies,It seems very odd to me as well, my monitor Is definitely HDCP compliant & as meds said "If It works dont fix It" sound advice.Still curious If anyone has similar results.

I got the same results.

My guess is that they are thrown by multi-core processors - they only see the headline speeds of (for example) 2.8GHz and regard them as slower than some old Pentium with a clock speed nearer to 4GHz. Either that or they are hard-programmed to look for specific features and versions - e.g. must have HDMI V1.3 - so you "fail" because you've got V1.4.

Yes,think It must be something like that pengypete, I tried the cyberlink advisor & everything passed,so I'll go with that.Thanks for your reply.
