[geeks] Athlon 64 X2 3800+

[Sridhar Ayengar]

I have this box I built to play around with, which contains the above 
processor.  Admittedly, it's fairly low-end as these boxes go.  Cheap 
Taiwanese motherboard, etc.

Well, a few days ago, I decided to splurge and bought myself a Blu-Ray 
burner.  I am pleased to report that using only the software decoder, my 
box can decode a Blu-Ray movie in 1080p using only just under 1/2 of one 
processor core!  I am tremendously pleased.

Peace...  Sridhar
