Which ION board should I get? Need ir-receiver or a pci slot. - wallbunny - 2012-01-10
Today my old htpc motherboard died, so instead of bying a new one, I decided I would give ION a go.
Which board would you recommend?
I'm hoping I can get a board in the $150-$250 range(Absolute max $300)
Requirements:
1080p playback using VDPAU.
PCI slot OR included ir receiver
GBit NIC with netboot/pxe/bootrom functionality (From what I can tell most boards have this)
Bonuses:
External power supply
External ir receiver/antenna with ability to power on from suspend using remote.
Able to use DDR2 ram
Passively cooled ;-)
Ideas of models or just plain brands are much appreciated! Thank you!
P.S: I will need to order it in the next 48 hours if it's something other than Jetway or eeebox.

this should fit your needs...I would recommend a HP usb IR receiver!
in case you still weren't sure what you really wanted...

As it turns out my motherboard was not the problem. It was my power supply that died. Luckily I had a spare one, so i'll wait with buying until I really have to.
I will check out HP usb receivers when I finally do buy a ION. Also that linuxtech article was great! *bookmarked*
Thank you both very much!
