I think the drivers have a LOT to do with this.  I recently updated my
Zotac ION frontend from an older Mythbuntu installation with Nvidia 175
series drivers to debian squeeze with Nvidia 260 driver and had a LOT of
video buffer issues, enough that caused it to start stuttering and causing
an echo effect over time.  It played PERFECT with vdpau before i used the
new install.  Last night I updated to 270 beta drivers and it helped a
little, but still not perfect.  And I've ALWAYS had 2 x 1MB sticks in the
thing.  The ONLY thing that changed on that Zotac was the software
installed.
