Is anyone else running XBMC-Live 9.04.1 on a Zotac IONITX-A board with Nvidia? I am running it with 2GB of ram and so far everything except 1080p is running flawlessly. When running at 1080p with VDPAU I still get video jitter on occasion. I am pulling the mkv over a network so I am not ruling out the fact the jitter could be caused from network congestion. Does XBMC Live have any settings for buffering video like the original XBOX? I did not see them in the menu structure. As far as CPU and memory on this box they are all sitting at less than 10% utilization. It looks like Linux is seeing the Atom as 4xCPU (I will have to check the BIOS and see if hyper threading is enabled.
Overall the ZOTAC is working as expected, I just need to get rid of the video jitter on 1080p.
On another note the M200-LCD case from mini-box.com does not fit the Zotac motherboad with the CPU cooling fan. I would stick to the M300-LCD for this board. Also note the Compact flash on this case is IDE not SATA and the Zotac does not have a IDE interface. Lastly the connector for the front USB ports to the Zotac motherboard is less than desired. I have not tested the IR or the LCD either.
How is everyone else doing on testing this cpu/motherboard?
ps. I got my box from OrbitMicro.com they had a shipment earlier this week!
