I've just received my little 12 inches monster with NVidia 6100 go card back from repair.
It brought to my attention that even with the Nvidia card, full screen video playback is still jerky as hell, while the CPU didn't even need to scale to a higher speed (Having the CPU running at higher speed didn't help anyway). Non-fullscreen video playback is fine and all. The same thing happened to my eee as well, full screen playback is significantly worse than non-fullscreen. Odd. - H.
