</blockquote></div><br><div>Agreed. Sorry, but it won't work.</div><div><br></div><div><div>CPU/RAM doesn't matter as much as the video card does. The Duo won't work because it's using an integrated Intel card (as you have pointed out).</div>
<div>I personally have an <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Acer-AspireRevo-AR1600-U910H-Desktop-Windows/dp/B002O3W44Q/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top">Acer Revo R1600</a> as a frontend, and it works perfectly, even with HD. The key is the nVidia card (the Revo uses nVidia ION).</div>
<div><br></div><div>Any cheapo Atom box with nVidia (built after 2008) should work, as long as it has at LEAST 256MB VRAM (512 for HD), and has VDPAU.</div></div><div><br></div><div>However, I DO have one glimmer of hope for you. If you REALLY want it to work...</div>
<div>Lower the X resolution to 640x480 (or similar). It won't look pretty, and I can't guarantee it'll work, but that's your best bet.</div><div><br></div><div>Daniel</div>
