Weird.  I have the Asus M2NPV-VM w/onboard GeForce 6150 and Mythdora 4.0 
worked fine on it.  Did a yum install for the binary nvidia drivers.  No 
problem with CPU usage (AMD X2 3600+) on playback.  I display SDTV and 
HDTV material on a 1080p LCD using DVI-D.  1080i source material uses 
about 50% of one core, and 720p source material uses about 65% of one 
core.  This is without xvmc, which I don't use.
