at least.) I've not had any crashes attributable to VDPAU...for that matter, I<br>don't recall having any crashes with it at all.<br></blockquote>

<div>I love my Revo, best $200.00 I've spent In my mind. Although I'm using Ethernet and not WiFi, so no congestion problems. Plus Flash 10.1 I can watch Hulu Desktop and, yea the CPU is like 85%, but the video isn't choppy. It's very nice. Now once the CrystalHD drivers are putinto myth, hope my AppleTV does much better playing video.</div>
