Just my 2cents on the Revo 1600 I have.  I had a stick of Memory Lieing
arround, so I have 512MB dedicated to the GPU.  I play back HuluDesktop low
Quality at 80% CPU without skipping, sure it's not HD, but it looks good
enough for me (and more importantly the Wife).  I play back mp4's encoded
with handbreak, 2600bitrate (I think, i do about 1.5gig/hr) and they play
back flawlessly.  h.264 obviously.  I do not know what deinterlacer I'm
using at the moment.

To me, it's best $200.00 I've spent.  Now if flash ever get's accelerated
somehow on linux, I would have to look into that option, but Hulu Has become
less and less used as of late, so maybe not.
