Hmm, I, the OP, also have an ION system that works fine on both 0.27 and 
0.28, an Acer Aspire Revo 3610. There have been hiccups in the past, the 
last one was due to a nvidia driver bug that didn't allow vdpau unless 
you were root. But that was fixed by either rolling back to the previous 
version or upgrading to the next major nvidia driver release.

I think one reason why my ION is still serving me well is because it's 
connected to a 720p TV, with a 1280x720 resolution. I think it would 
struggle if it had to drive a 1920x1080p resolution display.
