I 'think' the the video chipset has memory bandwidth problems with the crappy
via drivers when you're shifting stuff across the bus while it's using it for
mpeg decoding. But I'm not sure of that at the moment.
This is the same thing that causes the OSD stuttering problem basically.
Wonder if it does the same for those people using software decoding on
Nemehias... I'll ask on viaarena.
