Re: Do you have an Intel Atom 230 or Atom 330 System?
I have an Atom-based home-built home server and an Atom-based netbook - the server reports as an Atom 230, and I think the netbook uses the same.
The netbook regularly plays h.264 videos at 640x480 which is my TV's resolution. Curiously enough, the netbook is very sluggish for web browsing but the server seems much faster. Ion is overkill for playing Youtube or DVD quality video on a 20 inch screen - Intel graphics can handle this, even with the problems introduced by Ubuntu 9.04. However, if you will be playing HD content, Ion is a necessity due to its support for VDPAU.
I try to treat the cause, not the symptom. I avoid the terminal in instructions, unless it's easier or necessary. My instructions will work within the Ubuntu system, instead of breaking or subverting it. Those are the three guarantees to the helpee.
