This is the single core Atom, so even when the multithreaded ffmpeg stuff comes through, you're stuck using VDPAU for anything HD, which means you're on trunk instead of a release version. </blockquote>
<div><br>Even if it was a dual core atom no atom can decode mpeg2 HD. And for sure not h.264.<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Network is only 100mbit, which isn't a problem, but disappointing for people who may want to shift to all gigabit/jumbo. </blockquote><div><br>sending HD over a network will not reqire gig network. i run diskless front ends off a 100mb and can due pip, my OS/files, and be recording on the backend of the HDHR. <br>

</div><br>this is a true point. BUT<br><br>The big this is the price point. If they were to add N, gig network, larger flash ect you might as well buy a full blown PC. remember these really are just netbooks in a case w/o a monitor. you cant exect a top of the line system for 2 to 3 bills.<br>
