I suppose it could be that it's a laptop, or that you only have 512MB of ram on it, but my P4@2.5GHz w/1GB RAM (and the P4@1.8GHz w/1GB RAM) both playback H.264 SD files fine. Playsback most H.264 HD files fine too depending which HD res they've been put at.
We'll undoubtedly see the move to mostly H.264 eventually, though the adoption rate is much slower that the jump from Divx to XviD codecs we saw years ago.
I think the biggest issue a lot of people seem to have is that they see ".mkv" or ".mp4" and automatically assume that the files won't work on their computers for one reason or another even if they'd run perfectly fine.
