Intel (but not really) GMA500 graphics. Aka, poulsbo BS with the  
PowerVR core that requires a crack-riddled binary-only driver that  
only halfway exists to do anything useful. Supposed to be able to do  
hardware decode of most common video codecs, but I'm not aware of  
anything (certainly not myth) that can take advantage of it yet.

But otherwise, an amusing little box.
