Careful, your going to start an AMD/Intel flame war :) I know it's not
the same, but he said it was at worst 55% on his 3GHz P4. An Athlon 64
3000+ is close enough for a simple comparison.

Ahh true, I have no trouble displaying it at 800x600 without XvMC on a
PC monitor. It's displaying it at 1920x1080 that's a problem.
In any case I'm not going to chance it. If I slit the backend and
frontend the 3000+ will be the backend, and the new frontend will be at
least an X2 3800+. The wireless looks to be the problem with that...
