    I have some weird issues with video playback after OC'ing my M11x. Basically the machine is rock stable (lucky me :D) @ 1.73Ghz, but when i try to play videos through intel GMA (hardware-aided, e.g. h264 via DXVA in media player classic, or flash 10.1 videos on web) lots of frames are dropped or corrupted. It happens only in OC mode AND only when running on intel GPU.

    Did any one had similar issues? Is there a way to fix it? For me it looks like a simple driver issue, or in the worst case some bad OC setting in BIOS that makes the north bridge not very cooperative with the rest of the system (does this intel chip handles 1066 FSB at all?).

    Make sure that you are using the Microsoft DTV-DVD video decoder for DXVA of H.264 material.

    Well, perhaps it will fix MPC issues, but still i won't be able to play flash videos.
