and even that was not enough as frames were dropped quite frequently. The VC-1 encoded HD DVD video used up all resources of the Pentium D 830 CPU In the second run, Vouri enabled hardware acceleration, which requires an updated version of Nvidia's Forceware...

hit for enabling either WPA TKIP or WEP with these designs. Note that there's no plot for WPA - AES. That's because even though the hardware supports AES hardware acceleration, Intersil has decided to stick with the WPA spec and not enable it at this time....

which has much better access times than the standard hard drive in the MSI. And while 3D gaming is out, both notebooks can play HD video with no problems if the GPU's hardware acceleration is enabled. The sound quality, however, is disastrous on both machines....

we determine the battery life by running Prime95’s torture test, which stresses each of the system’s cores. Next we measure how long the unit lasts when playing back a DVD. Hardware acceleration is enabled if the included DVD Player software offers it....

acceleration being the main culprit. With hardware acceleration, using the print screen key will usually capture nothing but a black background. SnagIt’s DirectX option successfully captured a DVD video screen shot, without having to turn off hardware acceleration...

the PDA. Other special attractions include a small on-die video memory - 704 kB for the 2700G5, or 384 kB for the 2700G3 - and dual-display mode. In order to enable 3D acceleration, the component features a rendering pipeline implemented as dedicated hardware....
