Video decoding is done by the GPU aka 3200 not the CPU and it's the ***780G*** chipset that provides the audio through HDMI, not the analog which would be the "sound card". Even if hardware acceleration was not supported, the X2 3250e is way beefier than an Atom N270 which by itself is able to do 720p since GMA950 can't do hardware acceleration. Aka it'll handle the load. Don't spread BS on the wiki.

"Unfortunately, at this time AMD has yet to support CrossFire or Hybrid Graphics under Linux. (No need to worry for windows) That will hopefully be changing in the near future, but Linux users right now will be unable to utilize either of these multi-GPU technologies. Another current limitation is that right now the Unified Video Decoder (UVD) isn't supported for any MPEG-2, H.264, or VC-1 offloading."
analysis: you don't have to worry about crossfire/hybrid/multigpu on this system because there's no room for another card anyway. the lack of UVD will mean that HD decoding will be very limited; 720p at best, most likely.

Stolen from Old Wiki

There is a hidden deal here folks. The upgrade for 8GB of RAM is $169.

It's two PC6400 SODIMMS cheapest on NewEgg is $290 (for 800MHz).

Buy it and swap the RAM from your Laptop

Processor info - I like the little system so digging into the processors, I found out that these are the ultra-low-voltage AMD processors that are designed to compete in price/performance with the Intel Atom (the X2 3250e ~ atom 330 and the X1 2650e ~ atom 230). Didn't find any comparison/processor test. This is not comparable to a Core 2 Duo

The video problems with old atom systems was the old Intel GMA950 chip. This ATI Radeon HD3200 is equivalent to the NVIDIA Ion
AND the next version of Flash will be optimized for this ATI Radeon HD3xxx and the NVIDIA Ion - the beta version is already available [adobe.com]

The low end config is equivalent to the $199 AspireRevo 230
