It all depends on the gfx card. Jason will provide a Freevo 2.0 video
test app soon. After that we all know more.

Our main problem is colorspace conversion when using clutter. If your
gxf card supports that, there will be the same requirements to your CPU
as for Freevo 1.x. If it does not, you need some extra CPU power for
it. If you don't have 3D support at all, you are out of luck. Upgrading
the gxf card will always help to make a system Freevo 2.0 ready.
