You'd be lucky if it can squeeze out 720p]]>May 29th 2008 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/asus-ebox-cracked-open-for-world-to-see-previewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/asus-ebox-cracked-open-for-world-to-see-previewed/
I think the biggest issue is the lack of an optical, which would then require another expensive peripheral, adding on the cost if you want to be able to install disc-based programs into this thing, or perhaps put in a different OS every now and then. ]]>May 29th 2008 10:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/asus-ebox-cracked-open-for-world-to-see-previewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/asus-ebox-cracked-open-for-world-to-see-previewed/
For example, when I use hardware decoding on H.264 1080p video on my PC, via an ATI HD 2600XT video card, the CPU is only about ~5%. However, if I bypass the GPU, the CPU usages jumps up to ~65%. I have an Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 running at 2.33 GHz for reference.]]>May 29th 2008 6:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/asus-ebox-cracked-open-for-world-to-see-previewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/asus-ebox-cracked-open-for-world-to-see-previewed/
I take it you didn't bother to read the review, he states this machine isn't capable of handling 1080p H.264 content, also you are comparing your core 2 duo with a lightweight Atom proc, this machine doesn't have much in the way of graphics cards so its all on the proc in this case and if your core 2 duo jumps to 65% the atom shouldn't be capable of doing this.]]>May 29th 2008 3:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/asus-ebox-cracked-open-for-world-to-see-previewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/asus-ebox-cracked-open-for-world-to-see-previewed/May 29th 2008 10:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/asus-ebox-cracked-open-for-world-to-see-previewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/asus-ebox-cracked-open-for-world-to-see-previewed/
I want a no-moving-parts machine, which means losing that drive for something solid-state too.

I'm all for smaller gadgets, but I never understood the tiny desktop computer.]]>May 29th 2008 2:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/asus-ebox-cracked-open-for-world-to-see-previewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/asus-ebox-cracked-open-for-world-to-see-previewed/May 29th 2008 3:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/asus-ebox-cracked-open-for-world-to-see-previewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/29/asus-ebox-cracked-open-for-world-to-see-previewed/May 29th 2008 4:45PM
