For those of you that like to play video on your machine and have
NVIDIA
cards (not legacy ones) the latest Nvidia driver (1.80.06) has
support
for what they're calling VDPAU which is apparently basically a unix
implementation of PureVideo which has until now been available on
Windows only as I understand it. The end result is much less CPU
usage
while running it with something such as mplayer-vdpau.


Btw, is there any easy way to install the Nvidia drivers for the current
factory version? I guess the "official" Nvidia RPMs are coming later?
