Just saw this... Here is the 330 playing back h.264 from several sources. There seems to be frame dropping for the Transformers HD DVD but then I don't know if it is an issue on buffering or just the chipset limiting the Atom. Blu-Ray seems to do better but I can't really say.
Anyway, for a HTPC just to play all those HD rips you dled from BT the Atom 330 will sure kick ass.
didn't have much luck, mediaportal with coreAVC, plays tv3 pretty good, but its still frame dropping, feels like just 1or 2 frames a sec. 95-100% cpu usage. BLu-ray, is a no go, powerdvd refuses to play it with the on board video. oh well, wait for the nvidia 9400 setup.
Still damn good nettop book, feel much quicker than i thought it would.
Yeah it's because the onboard (Intel GM 950) video only has MPEG-2 hardware acceleration and not H.264, if only the atom 330 had a PCI-E slot and DVI out it would be rocking for a htpc.
