I have a 9100 IGP system (soyo board) and I can't do HD for the life of 
me with it using XvMC with either an MX4000 PCI or an MX440 AGP.  I have 
a 2.26ghz Celeron in it that can do 720p in software barely with 
libmpeg2 but anything else kills it.  That being said, everything I have 
read says a 2.8ghz+ P4 HT will do HD fine.  I'm contemplating it myself 
if I can't get my MX4000 to work in another box or my Nforce2 IGP to do 
XvMC...
