    Is your Atom dual core?  That makes it better.  But does it work with Hulu?  What about with Silverlight?

    Yes ,dual core w/ hyperthreading (i.e. 4 threads).  I would never recommend a non-dual core.  I would urge anyone looking at an Atom system to wait for until the D525 is used more on SSF devices, it is a the first 2nd generation Atom that offers a decent speed improvement.  I’m a big fan of the D510 for low-powered server usage and routers but the D525 does a better job for mini-HTPCs.

    But all of the dual core AtomsIon combinations work great with both Hulu and Silverlight.  With higher rate Blu-ray rips you’ll tend to see some issues though.
