K7 w/out SSE2 did support UVD

[initial_f]

Here's what I have:

Athlon 2500+ (Barton)@2.2G(200MHz x11)
Abit AN7
Adata Vitesta DDR566 256M x2
WD3200AAKS x2 Strip(Raid 0)
Netgear WG311T
ATi HD2600XT AGP 512M DDR3

Software:

WMplayer 11
Finalcodecs2008

HD Sourcese: (H264)

No.Country.for.Old.Men.720p.Bluray.x264 (1 MKV file totally around 4G)

WAR 2007_Blu-Ray.H264-REMUX.1080P (6 TS files totally around 24G)
Lower the FSB of processor to 100MHz for UVD testing

Huh? Of course it could support playback as long as you have a video card that offloads H264 100%.

The thing of interest is that an AGP 2600 series can do H264 decoding when UVD on their 2000 series AGP cards was broken. Thats it, everything else is pretty well known.

Exactly and it was ONLY Nvidia who said they would not program there purevideo drivers to not accelerate on non-sse2 machines (which they may have gone back on as that was ages ago).

UVD has been working on non SSE2 machines since the start.
