Intel G45 chipset has HD decode problems
 

INTEL'S UPCOMING G45 chipset has a novel problem, it is broken out of the gate. Unlike it's G965 and G35 predecessors, this one is hardware based, not drivers.

Actually, the G965 has both, but the hardware bug was pretty minor, so minor that Intel never bothered to fix it, so scratch DX10 on that part. G35 is a driver problem, and that will maybe be fixed soon so the DRM infested, malware ridden, broken OS will work in all of its polished glory.
