Maybe it's shorthand for 'any card with less than 64 meg isn't likely
to have the required hardware acceleration to view this in realtime'
If you're unsure of your machine's ability to view WMVHD, why not try
out the WMV HD rating tool - its a 25k MSDOS program from Microsoft :
http://tinyurl.com/59brs and gives you the estimated performance of
your hardware components versus the kit you'll need to match the
requirements.
