    Default Pentium M 1.6 to 2.0ghz upgrade

    I currently have a Pentium M 1.6 in a MSI Speedster FA-4 motherboard as my HTPC system. I am currently sort of thinking about adding a DVB-S2 card for BBC HD. I am thinking of giving my system a bit of a boost and picking up a 2.0 ghz pentium m off ebay.

    Anyone know if this upgraded CPU would have much of an impact on my systems performance and would it be enough to play back BBC HD.

    (It will be paired with a ATi 3450 graphic card)
    Server Shuttle XPC SD11G5 SFF Pentium M 2.0, 2 gig memory, ATI 4350, WD Green Power 500gig hard drive.
    Codecs: ffdshow, PowerDVD 7

    Client: MSI FA-4 speedster, Pentium M 1.6, 1gig memory, 40 gig laptop hard drive

    With the existing CPU and ATI 3450 video card, the server should already be capable of playing BBC HD. The client PC with MX4000 wouldnt be able to.
