I just got one last week - the -C-U version (single core N230).

I have it set up to test out with an old version of mythtv (0.20.2),
frontend only.  For the minute or so I tried it out, it played HD just
fine.  Don't remember if that was 720p or 1080i material, but it was
displaying on a 720p TV.  That's with no video acceleration at all,
since the old MythTV doesn't support VDPAU, and the on-board video
doesn't support XvMC.

It's a lot quicker than you might think.
