Or just maybe the 780G is doing the decode :P

Haven't checked.... Really on a core2. :). Hmm. Using a 780g I can
watch real blueray fullscreen at 1080p on a samsung 56" without a
single stutter. Of course, I'm using the all powerful le-1640 $42
cpu. So might make a difference. :)

I didn't think the Xbox had the horsepower to handle
high bitrate H.264 very well if it all. I've got
hi-def rips from BluRay/HDDVD and what not that made a
Core2Duo 2180 stutter, display artifacts, etc. because
one of the cores was hitting 100% utilization. It
wasn't until I installed the CoreAVC codecs that
supported SMP that I could achieve flawless playback
on such files. Xbox's also require hard drives and
aftermarket mods don't they?

No doubt a real HTPC built by anyone here would be
much better but there are some definite Pros when
using a STB (turnkey, compact, low power, quiet, no
movable parts, etc). At the moment I wouldn't dream
of
replacing my HTPC with something like this, but I
don't want 3-4 HTPCs in my home. Something like this
will be fine for the kitchen, guest bedroom, outdoor
stereo, etc.

Starting with the case that I would not even cram
my
hdd into (had one, returned as
junk), the spartan product web site, lastly the
current bug list tells me this is
slightly above homebrew. Whatever hardware goes
into
this, I'll bet any of us could
build better.
