So when watching blu-ray movies, streaming 1080P video, etc., would the 3300 have any stuttering or anything? Does the 3400 have any advantage over the 3300 other than being 0.2GHz faster? Does that 0.2GHz matter an any situations I should be aware of?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Oh! I notice the 3400 GPU also clocks at 600Mhz vs the 3300 @ 443MHz. Will the 157MHz difference effect blu-ray playback or 1080P video streaming?

The CPU is fast enough on both for Blu Ray. The GPU on both will be powerful enough for Blu Ray as they both have UVD 3.

With the streaming, guess that will depend on the format and if it offloads most of it to the GPU.

So lets say 1080P YouTube or HD Netflix. Will the 3300 handle the video just as well as the 3400?

Youtube should work I imagine, flash does offload some to the GPU.

Netflix is silverlight isn't it? No idea with silverlight and 1080p, I know it has the option for hardware acceleration just don't know what it will be like with that APU.
