Well, my first imressions of the ION platform (Acer Revo) are very good. 
It does the vdpau deinterlacing without problems and so far the video 
decoding has not exceeded 1% cpu load for ANY 1080p clip I've tried. 
This is the best VDR frontend/XBMC machine I've ever tried. I don't know 
why, but it works better than my Intel E7200/Nvidia 9400 uATX board. For 
those interested it uses 34W from 220V with the hdd still attached. I 
don't know if it's using any power though, since I've disabled SATA in 
the bios because I boot it off the network. Anyone who knows how to open 
this wonderful little thing?
