nvidia ION graphics: GT218 [ION] (rev a2). When viewing videos (size matters not: same thing with 360p, 720p, 1080p) with vlc using libva1 1.0.12-1~xup from the ubuntu-x-swat-x-updates ppa, gpu acceleration works and the video plays fine up to a point at which vlc abruptly consumes all 4 GB of ram in the computer (Intel Atom D525 cpu) and starts to fail.
Example: downloading this Youtube video and playing in vlc: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rR94NDIfGmA
However, there is at least one test case that does not fail: downloading this Youtube video and playing it in vlc gives no problem, no weird memory usage, even at 720p: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qY2MOe8j2M
