OK, I promised that the test system would get an overhaul. I spoke of 800mhz, new video, UDMA100, etc etc. But of course, I have to PAY for this stuff myself! I did manage to sell some spare body parts and acquire a P3 processor to replace the venerable Celeron; and the SB Live Value replaces the much loved but defunct Vortex-2 soundcard for comparisons. The rest is waiting till prices drop a bit or my creditors suffer sudden accidents. If anyone from ATI, NVidia, ASUS, or Intel is reading, feel FREE to guarantee yourselves a spot in DVD History! SEND HARDWARE! Live the dream of being a part of future INMATRIX reviews! (And save Kelly from spending all his retirement savings!)

Tech note: All virus scanners and un-needed background applications were disabled for testing. The latest BIOS, firmwares, and drivers were installed. All this helps improve DVD playback on any system. Mucho thanks to Kruge & the gang at the [RAGE UNDERGROUND] forums for helping with some ATI driver headaches to help me finish the TV-OUT testing!
