Hi Jarod,

Can you please elaborate on "It can just *barely* handle most (vbr) 1080p
h.264 content" ?
I was planning on building a mythtv system for a friend
(1xbackend-6xfrontends) and I was going to use the "Dell Studio Hybrid" for

I wish Dell would make a version of the Studio Hybrid with a Nvidia graphics
card that could take advantage of the new
