For the ION, you will need to use the "Standard" VDPAU profile ; which
uses Advanced 2X for SD and Temporal 2X for HD.
The ION isn't fast enough for advanced 2X on HD content

Stay away from the 260.x drivers too, they are unstable and crash easily.
I personally use the 256.xx drivers, they work much better, including
with the latest nvidia 4xx series.
