we have one Zotac MAG HD-ND01 and one Foxconn NT-330I-A-B-NA-A, both
Atom 330, both with 2GB ram. they have always played perfectly with
our older setup of firewire + QAM + hdpvr and our now Ceton + QAM
setup. I had single core for a while too with the original setup when
I was building my parents setup and was "testing it".
