Thoughts on Netflix Instant Queue on an Intel Atom?

Hi all,
Has anyone tried watching Netflix Instant Queue movies on a netbook with an Atom processor? What are your thoughts? Thanks in advance.

What video card do you have in it?

I have the regular integrated junk on the original atom and netflix works fine, just don't try to play it in HD. Silverlight is pretty good about not using too much cpu.

Thanks for the responses! It appears that it will be fine.

netflix uses wmv(silverlight) which doesn't have the performance issues flash has.

i have an asrock htpc with a dual core atom and ion. cpu usage barely moves beyond 15% watching netflix.

In short Silverlight video rocks.
