Hmmm very nice indeed. I was a tad worried i'd have to use Linux for XBMC...granted i can get my way around it but i always had a ton of issues with Linux and MythTV back in the day getting it to work properly with my MCE keyboard/remote...im sure a lot of that is fixed now but man was it dumb..

Ignore my previous msg. XBMC can playback h.264 720p/1080p.

Window + XBMC:
* Only software decode at this moment.
* ATI / nVidia Cards both works fine.

Linux + XBMC:
* Only latest nVidia graphic can enjoy hardware acceleration (VDPAU). Someone said 8xxx series can enjoy the VDPAU feature, but my 7400GO cannot Sad

* ATI may experience video jutter in fast moving scenes.

If u want your graphic card do the h.264 decode job, must got for XBMC+linux with latest nVidia grahpic card (u need to double chk and make sure what card is able to turn on the VDPAU function).
