    Dang I forgot to check streaming capability before I sold my Eee. I did download stage6 files, and that played nice. I'd assume anything above 600p would start to chug, and at 720p you'll have like 4-5s pause (aka doesn't do HD). What res are Stage6 files usually? And make sure you use Media Player Classic with CoreAVC for optimum results.
