For a long time now, all builds of FFDshow Tryouts have had both the single-threaded libavcodec and multi-threaded ffmpeg-mt selectable for h.264 decoding. MPC-HC also uses ffmpeg-mt for it's built-in h.264 decoder.

An AMD X2 at 2Ghz+ should be able to decode 1080p h.264 just fine with any multi-threaded decoder. I would know, as I still have a computer using a 2.4Ghz AMD X2 4800+ (939) from 2005. You're looking at around 40-50% CPU during low-motion and 60-70% CPU during high-motion when playing 1080p @20Mbps avg w/ 5.1 audio and basic softsubs using FFDshow with ffmpeg-mt.
