Afaik, the cpu in these two macs are identical, and isnt enabeling PBO only meant to ensure fast pixel data transfer to and from a graphics card through DMA without involing CPU cycles?

As I understand it, as these CPU`s are the same, they should both be equally competent of delivering the same amount of pixels to the gpu at the same amount of time, and shouldnt my 2008 mini by that explanation be equally competent at displaying 1080p on screen?

Can you confirm that not only did your 1,6 ghz mini decode 1080p files properly, but that you also had it display that resolution on screen?

But the buses between those two are quite a bit different. One is 667 and the other 1066 - that's going to make a difference too.
