Hulu is really resource intensive, compared to other flash players. My previous PC was an AMD 64 X2 4600+, 2gb RAM, nVidia 8800 gto, running WinXP 32, I would see noticeable frame skipping in Hulu, but not any others like youtube, vimeo etc. The motherboard in that died, I upgraded to a quad-core i5, 4gb RAM, still on the same WinXP 32, same video card, and it's smooth now.<br>
<br>Hopefully streaming video goes to something decent in the future... and not Silverlight like Netflix uses on PC.<br><br>-dc<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jan 25, 2011 at 3:29 PM, Daniel Stiner <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:stiner@iastate.edu" target="_blank">stiner@iastate.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I suspect this is more due to a lack of proper video acceleration in flash on Linux than a bandwidth problem, as it is able to handle h.264 720p content off the hard disk well enough<br>

Speaking of MC systems, has anyone used an Atom/ION2 based system? I've been reading people have had problems steaming Netflix/Hulu on ION2 systems due to the ION2 being a GPU attached via PCI express x1 instead of a chipset.<br>
