Just got this working very quickly with my new Acer Revo 3600 (only 1G ram) here's my thoughts:
1. navigation is lightning fast (a lot faster than on any of my PC's even the one with 4G ram and a 9600)
2. it was so easy to get working just loaded ubuntu mini and ran the script
3. needed to play with the audio settings to get HDMI to work but works fine
4. SD video (well 1/3 SD) works fine with my 1080p TV
5. HD video content jumps all over the place...
So what am i going to do about the HD video...
1. get more RAM as only 256M is assigned to the video card
2. if that doesn't work have a play with the settings and make sure i've got everything setup correctly

You Can add the Asus AT3N7A-ION MB to the list, great script to get me started, don't use it anymore but it i now understand the installation process better.
PS I Removed the splash screen package, i got screen tearing in movies with it installed on my system. DS
You should also put in some more Nvidia options, i use DigitalVibrance = 63 for a much nicer picture!

So I got HD working on my Revo 3600 with no memory upgrade:
1. altered render method in Video Settings to VDPAU - which improved it a bit but not good enough
2. updated to latest build of xbmc (at top of this thread) and it works sooooo goood I'm thinking of buying another 2 for my other TV's
3. I also loaded the SVN update script (again use the instructions at the beginning of the thread
Could I please say a very big thank you, I've got xbmc running on a "real" powerful PC using the full ubuntu and it took ages to get it working (all the graphics issues... and trying to understand linux.... it was a pain about a year ago) so my second MC was a windows based one and that went ok but not very fast and very noisy...
so now I've got my dream media centre and it works? (apart from some bugs that I'm presuming will go away on the next real release of xbmc rather than the nightly build I'm currently using)
All I need to figure out is how to load minimedia skin then i'll have nothing to do with my spare time!
Well maybe i should take up skinning or get live tv running on it....
