Now here is a great idea and it
would be interesting to run this application on your equipment. CyberLink has
released a free diagnostic tool for testing PC systems, to determine if they are
ready for the new high definition formats. It can inspect and report
upon both hardware and software on your system and even check for HDCP
compatibility.


Called CyberLink BD/HD DVD Advisor, the software
will reportedly analyze system resources and can determine whether or not you
will be able to playback the new high definition movies. If not, it can give you
upgrade recommendations and troubleshooting support. They even have a href="http://www.cyberlink.com/multi/support/product_faq_home.jsp?LangName=ENU&showall1=0&lowindex1=1&showall2=1&lowindex2=0&nProdId=31&nProdVerId=175&nCateId=5"
target=_new>nice FAQ page that gives good troubleshooting tips
etc.

well I grabbed it tested it, and my CPU pass, 4400x2, ram passes 1 gig, OS ok XP SP2, video card fails x800 AIW, driver of course fails, and my 37 inch Digimate LCD monitor fails HDCP (bought it for this reason anyways, has unencrypted outs on it) They list what cards are supported, but not driver revisions, and no list of what displays have HDCP support. Kinda useless tool, specially if it does not list what monitors are HDCP comliant, then we would know what ones NOT to buy so we don;t have to worry about supporting this crap
