Onboard intel video solutions are significantly underpowered. Actually Jet Sun, a dedicated GPU does make that significance of a difference.

It will still be limited by the CPU speeds and the Atom just isn't up to the task. Interestingly, I came across an article from AnandTech that talks about HD flash on the ION platform. He overclocks the CPU to over 1.9Ghz to see if it makes a difference to sites like Hulu.

Can you confirm whether either the GPU here helps with this (I think the latest Flash *may* be doing some GPU offload), or whether any of the overclocking helps with this at all?
