peakit,

This is a 1 gHz Celeron with integrated i830 video Thinkpad which does a usable job at BBC video.

My 2 ghz Celeron i845G video tower is better. HD video is jerky with that hardware as expected.

I also test with a 3.3 gHz Celeron ati radeon Xpress 200 tower which goes as fast as my internet service will go.

They're all on Maverick Beta multibooted with Lucid, Lubuntu, ... Lubuntu Maverick Beta with LXDE & Chromium appears to be faster than Gnome Firefox haven't done any tests. I prefer running Lubuntu on my two slower machines while Gnome Firefox is fine on my 1.5 gHz P4 ati Thinkpad T40 and the 3.33 gHz Celeron.

General impression is KMS+fbdevhw running O.K. for the two days it has been available on 2.6.35-22. I haven't done any Gtkperf video test comparisons yet vs. vesa and i915 drivers.
