Have you allocated 512mb of ram for the IGP in BIOS?

Well, I must say I am very impressed with the Ion platform (Acer Revo) so far. Works like a charm with everything I've tried. The video decoding never uses more than 1% cpu on any clip using vdpau. Running Ubuntu Jaunty and XBMC from svn together with vdr-sxfe.

Well, I bought the only spec that was available in Sweden. It has 2GB RAM and unfortunately I had to pay for a 160GB hdd and Windows, none of the will ever be used since I boot linux off the network. I don't care about boot times since it's always on and since I don't use the hdd I run every clip (including 30Mbps of "killa") from my VDR/NFS server through cheap 100Mb switches.

Excellent news on the NAS streaming "killa" exactly what I wanted to hear.. I will get the 1gb model and upgrade to 2gb and run linux also..
the audio over HDMI is another excellent question I! I wait with baited breath on the answer.

Yes, the only digital audio output available is through hdmi but that's ok with me for the moment.

Well, the only problem with mounting the board on the back side of my TV is that it's not very accessible..... This it what dmidecode says anyway:

So it's obviously two 1GB DDR2 dimms, but I don't get what the speed figures mean.

According to Google, that P/N is a 667MHz DDR2.
