Thanks for this. Clearly, I'm not up-to-date with architectures :-)

So, if I'm running mplayer on an Intel i5, and it works well, can I 
expect the same on an i7? Or are the integrated graphics likely to be 
different? Just to repeat myself, I'm trying to figure out if mplayer 
will produce good results running on an an Intel DH77DF (Intel H77 
MiniITX)
