Based on the video demo, ZenFone 2 manages to run Windows platform smoothly thanks to 2.3GHz 64-bit Intel Atom quad-core processor. Windows is optimized for Intel platform, right?

And SSD is for Windows OS and storage for ongoing tasks. Fast GPU is required for extreme gaming of course. And finally you will need good cooling system to let you increase performance further by overclock them…

Free Full HD Player Download

Yes… I found a free Full HD player that can play my Panasonic HDC-SD700 1920×1080 50p m2ts files smoothly.

However, the search is over. I found Splash Lite ~ the ultimate free HD player!
