Well now I'm torn...  I was searching for a min of 64 pixels shaders,  
partly cuz I'm just overkill like that and partly cuz I was crossing  
my fingers in hopes that VDPAU would support picture-in-picture soon  
(was told it doesn't as of right now, haven't really looked into  
it).  Ultimately I want to be able to rip some of my Blu-rays so I  
can just hit up the menu and watch them without having to get up (I'm  
disabled and sometimes getting up is a big deal). I just want to make  
sure I'll be able to use some pretty high compression and still have  
enough head room left over during playback to do jumping jacks.  My  
biggest issue is that if I end up having to buy a 2nd one because the  
first wasn't quite good enough my WAF drops like a rock... even if  
the two of them are cheeper then buying one big one. I'm not saying  
it's logical, it's just what I have to deal with. LOL
