Some media playback?  I tested mine by playing the 1920x1080 version of
Big Buck Bunny and it didn't even break into a sweat!  So, I then
bought five more, one of them an R3610, and have built a spiffy mythtv
system.

I've slapped four Hauppauge Nova-T USB DVB-T tuners on the backend, but
even when going mad, we've only seen it using three at once to record
seven channels. :-)

Some say that you need 2GB of DDR, which enables 512MB of video memory,
which is supposed to be needed for VDPAU. I saw no issues without it,
but have spent the extra £12 per box anyway.

I've also got some £12 each USB Ir remotes from ebay, and have put the
codes into our MX-500s, which all works fine, including S3
suspend/resume from the remote.

I'm planning to flog the wifi cards and 160GB drives at some point, but
inertia is delaying things.
