Seems to work fine, except with full screen video.
It pauses and jerks every second or so while watching DVDs if the player window is greater than about 1/4 screen. That's a well known issue though.
Lately, about 25 minutes into a DVD (full screen with xine) my computer will lock up.
The xine people say the lock up is a driver problem, but my machine is completely unresponsive when it happens so I can't get any crash data off of it and nothing is logged.
My CPU seems fine at 100% while rendering video for an hour or so and memtest-86+ is happy with my RAM. So I don't think it is hardware.
As long as I stay away from watching video, everything is great.
