Scott,
I have built r137 and am using without any issues with xbmc r31648 on ATV(OSX) with 720p. I have an old layout card. I realise that may be anecdotal given I may be lucky and have good DRAM, but I thought some positive feedback from an older card owner might make you feel good!
However, occasionally with 1080p I get the video not wanting to start up (xbmc seems to get stuck 'working' for a long while) then when it finally starts, I get the worst shuttering ever - maybe it shows one frame every couple of seconds. I have managed to make it do the problem and have posted some info below:

(xbmc is never more than 50-55%, sometimes as low as 25% - so not maxed out when playing file)
The video in question is a 1080p rip of Green Zone - sorry about the size of the log, but didn't want to restart xbmc and then not be able to reproduce the problem. If it happens again with other material I'll let you know.
As per other thread where me and Paul were asking about an approriate place to post these kinds of issues, I have copied my original post from CrystalBuntu thread to here and destroyed the original.
