Hey guys !
My opinion is to stay away from intel H55 chipsets until the new and three times faster intel solution arrives at the end of this year. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=ne...&px=ODAxNA
The reason why i am telling this:
The H55 chipsets don't have enough shader power. This means you won't be able to enjoy the hq video shader based upscalings like lanczos. Even bicubic is not working well.
I tried it on both windows and linux. The framerate to upscale an xvid SD video to 1080p was around 17-20 fps WITHOUT any hw decoding acceleration enabled. Imagine how it would be capable of decoding it with hw acceleration and maybe having also a hw deinterlacing active at the same time.
That was my experience, but i'd be happy if someone could get better results.
