Cyberlink’s BD/HD Advisor is an application for Windows PC’s that will test and report on the readiness of your system to playback HiDef DVD content.

You might be suprised at what specs are required to play the discs. On a slightly-dated notebook I’ve got, the test for both formats gave me a big thumbs down for various reasons, including the CPU being not beefy enough. This notebook has a Pentium 4 HT running at 3GHz.
