I don't know about that. My 366/66 seems to do just fine. It will
sometimes miss a frame if there's a huge explosion or something, but I
seldom notice it more than once in a movie.
On the other hand, the 600E does have an AGP video card that does
motion compensation, and I don't know about the 240, so that could be
making the difference.
DIVX decoding is a another story for me tho. Movies tend to come out
OK, since it seems the 600E can keep up with the 20fps or whatever
movies are, but DIVXed highdef TV actually looks worse since it drops
frames.
