Yea I read alot and infact had successfully installed that on the Zotac using XBMC Freak's live CD. Link: XBMCFreak
But configuration is such a pain since my linux knowledge is close to zero and XBMC Freak's English related tutorials on configuration is limited. For example, when I plugged in my portable Harddisk in NTSF format containing all the HD movies, I can't even configure XBMC to recognize the movies. In the end, I gave up.
I then bought a SSD drive, upgraded to 4GB RAM and installed Win7 ultimate 64bit. But when trying to install XBMC for win platform, I realized it can't support 64bit OS. And so, I totally gave up on XBMC.

For Windows platform, Splash pro is definitely the best (so far) if you have Nvidia ION GPU or similar Nvidia graphic card cos' it uses the Nvidia PureVideo decoder. See NVIDIA PureVideo
XBMC is really cool but its pretty complicated to get it right as I mentioned above. So I've no chance to compare the performance since I'm too lazy to try it again. And also the new SSD drive + 4GB RAM + Win 64bits + Splash PRO = works like a charm in the Zotac. ;-)[COLOR="Silver"]
