It also plays the same files flawlessly in M$ XP with mplayer classic.
So I don't understand what files where played
http://www.anandtech.com/systems/showdoc.aspx?i=3321&p=4&cp=4
Also the system is very very silent, where the test states the opposite.
It has digital-out and A DVI->HDMI cable solves another named
'connection-flaw'. I'm very pleased with my 2 systems. Also able to run
OS-X with it.
