The thing is fast. 4 cores at 3.7Ghz: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103934 I watched My Cousin Vinny on Blu-Ray last night without threading ffmpeg and without VDPAU and it never lost A/V sync for even a moment. It was an h264 codec. Just a few dropped frames I'd say. The Hulu Desktop fullscreen image no longer tears which is great too. Speaking of videos, I sincerely apologize for this but it's Sunday and I can not help myself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cqOEr_yfak - Grant
