I'm used it successfully on a 2.0 Pentium M, with no problems decoding
HD on there. My 1.3 M laptop does not decode 1080i successfully, it
works for 720p ( tho the wireless will drop out :( )
I'm guessing the sweet spot is the 1.8 MHz, tho I should try on my
fiancee's 1.6 some day when she isn't looking.
