I realise that - I still have no clue though as to whether the
visualisations in MythMusic are constrained by CPU or GPU.

The Nvidia ION 9000 series core might be the best thing since sliced bread
but if the visualisations require a 4gig quad core to be smooth then I'm
not going to have a lot of luck with a single core Atom on a Zotac board!!
