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.
Which ION board should I get? Need ir-receiver or a pci slot.

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! |
