1080p movies with Atom or m3?

[JTong]

I'm interested in getting one of these for use as a HTPC. It won't be used for anything else besides this. I was wondering if the fastest Atom processor will play high bitrate 1080p videos smoothly? I'm talking about 10k+/s bitrate here. I have lots of movies that are 12GB+ with 10-12k/s bitrates. Has anyone had any experience with this? Most are encoded with H264/X264.
