I don't have a Windows box at home to play with, so it'd be difficult
to make a direct CPU comparison, but I successfully watched Sherlock
Season 2 in full HD the other day (Intel i7-2760QM, nVidia GeForce GTX
560M).  There was a little bit stuttering periodically, but that could
very well have been my connection.
