has anyone gotten a 640x480 sized 4:3 ratio video to play on the 110? I can get them to play very well at around 20-30,000 dpi --basically low resolution--but once I go above that they simply stutter. Why would that be? At the most the system has to transfer and decode 1/2 meg of data back and forth a second. As near as I can tell the 110 can do about three times that easily. (right now the only think slowing me down is the hard drive--with that out of the way it could do 10 times). I have little running in the background, dhcp, sendmail, apache, bind, name, and a couple odds and ends of other stuff. I have on average 30MB free of ram to play them and the cpu isn't even warm. I am predecoding to get rid of the dvd encryptination so there is even less impact on the video system. Where is the hold in the system? Does anyone know? Even with just 2 meg of VR that is enough and the neofb swapps VR into SR anyway so there is acually over 16MB of VR availible on my system. The whole system is easily 2-3x faster than RT. Everything is so much faster than RT that the video should simply fly!! Does anyone know why it doesn't? If someone says the decoding algorithm well why don't the silly s***s rewrite it in assembly then!!

P.S. haven't gotten the chips yet to do the mem upgarde. May not do it anyway since all the talk about adding a pci to ide got me thinking and I located a cpu board that would work really well as a dual processor board than I may just skip it and do a dual processor system through the docking port instead. That way I'd have faster cpu and ddr.
