Now that the prices on these ZBoxs have dropped below $250 I'm looking to pick one up for a HTPC, but I'm having trouble deciding which version to get:
AD04: AMD E-450 Zacate w/ HD6320
ID80: Intel Atom D2700 w/ nV GT520m
ID81: Intel Celeron M857 ULV w/ ????
My main criteria is the level of software support from XBMC and/or WMC and the ability to decode high bitrate H264 MKVs, and stream netflix/hulu HD. Gaming performance is irrelevant.
Right now I'm leaning towards the ID80 since it seems the GT520m accelerates most HD playback well enough and the D2700 is slightly faster than the E-450.
