well.. with regards to 775 I think we have different point of views. My point of view is I wouldn't invest my money in a platform that is no longer being actively developed.
DDR 2 vs 3 was because it's cheaper to buy ddr3.. but anyway, you've got a point there.
About the Zotac ITX 9300 board.. avoid that one. They are affected by a bug with the nvidia driver, and you can't use the new releases. I think both windows and linux are affected.. sraue (xbmc developer) warned about this issue in a thread here.

And back on topic... If it's only because optical out, I'd say the same as Livin.. get a USB adapter and problem solved.
