Built this PC 2 months back.
Stsin:
Can control the smoothness so to speak. What to interpolate and what to skip. Modifying the scripts to your liking. I'm guessing that Splash player is being conservative, especially with it's low CPU utilization...then again you are using an I7.
But it does vary depending on the animation. Like with much of the animation made today that is computer assisted, filling the extra frames works great. What they improve in all is panning.
btw, the two links I shown earlier are really small. So check them out. It plays instead of downloading with my browser.
edit:
Here's 2 test clips I did for the PS3: (click to show/hide)http://www.fileserve.com/file/389Dstj

Both at 60fps, the first at 720p, second at 1080p. Forgive me for using a bad source, but it's a good test to see if your media player is capable of playing 1080p @60fps without juddering. VLC chokes on it (Found out that the PS3 isn't able to play 1080p at 60fps; probably due to it being above the blu-ray standard).

I'm considering picking up an HP prebuilt for 900CAD.
i7
dedicated graphics
etc.
I mainly stream and/or play dled anime. The wifi module in this thing would be great for using as an HTPC too. Which would be the main use of this comp.
Or... for 400 bucks, I can pick up a HP prebuilt running an E3600 or whatever at 3.3Ghz.
I kinda want to build my own, but at the same time, too lazy. I'm also wary about installing a CPU chip because in the past, I killed an old P3 and a P4 chip (from old discarded comp parts, so not a monetary loss) because I put too much and then too little arctic silver.

Chips are surprisingly hardier than they used to be, but either way this bit is simple. Just make you sure you have a thin coat - scrape of excess if you must - that covers the entirety of the chip. Hell, I used some random stuff my dad nicked from work. Some sort of copper compound, idk, looked like it'd probably work (and it did).

What model number of i7?
And as for thermal paste, grain of rice is the guiding size.

2600 I think.
