I know I'm necro-posting, but I recently got a raspberry pi and I'm loving it!
Installed the raspbmc (port of xbmc) and it works like a charm.
However, I've noticed that it overclocks the pi from 700 to 800MHz.
But it does play MKV files @1080p with no stutter... and I was also apt-get'ing some details from an ssh prompt on my laptop.
I got the pi mostly to access a machine at home via SSH and that can be done.... it can also do many other things, which are cool, but not my main aim. I also wanted a machine that made little or no noise and little or no heat...and, so far, it's panning out as planned!
