[MPlayer-users] VIA Ezra

[Felix von Leitner]

I am thinking about building myself a set top box based on one of the
all-in-one socket 370 mainboards and an C3 CPU (called Ezra).  The CPU
is available with 800 and even 866 MHz and VIA claims it can be used
without any fans.

Does anyone have performance figures about that CPU?  Is it sufficient
to play back DVDs and DivX 4 in real time with full PAL or NTSC
resolution?  Progressive and interlaced?  They offer mainboards with
on-board S3 video, audio, 10/100 LAN and IDE controllers, and they are
very cheap (about EUR 200 for CPU plus mainboard plus case).  Of course
I only want to spend money if it can actually play my movies.
