Basically, I'm wondering if anybody has had any luck with one of these and VDPAU:<br><br><a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883103228" target="_blank">http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883103228</a><br>
<br>My two concerns are:<br>1) How much memory does the BIOS allow to be assigned to the video chipset (seems like VDPAU really likes 512mb), and<br>2) The "LE" part of "ION LE". According to nvida here: <a href="http://www.nvidia.com/object/picoatom_specifications.html" target="_blank">http://www.nvidia.com/object/picoatom_specifications.html</a> the difference is no DirectX 10 (big whoop) and "up to" 16 graphics cores (maybe relevent?)<br>
</blockquote><div><br>I do not have an ION LE, but just reading a few articles, it appears the ION and ION LE might be the same chip, just the LE avoids the DX10 certification costs. Here's a thread about VDPAU on the ION LE (HP Mini 311 netbook):<br>

I would want to see those numbers before purchasing an LE just to verify it's the same as the normal ION.<br>
