Mmmm I'm thinking either the ASRock 330 or the Acer, the Acer doesn't seam to have IR though? so using a harmony remote would need an additional dongle and also no wireless N which I was after too, so that's another cost to think about.

Side note:
I'm loving XBMC on my "Zotac ION-ITX F" (It's the one with 16xPCIe slot fur upgrades in future like a PCIe SSD )  lolQuiet & CPU temps are low (actually the old IDE Hard drive i've got rigged to it for backups is louder!) |

Do you know if ION 9400 will do XVID as well as H.264 in hardware rendering okay?

if you're requiring xvid for standard def media, then the atom processor will play that back just fine on its own.
afaik, VDPAU does not offload MPEG 2/4 decoding to hardware. but SD rips of movies/TV eps in Xvid playback just fine on the original xbox (a pentium 3 700 MHz cpu) without much stress at all. the atom CPU can also handle them without high CPU load. in fact, xvid/divx up to 720p will probably be just fine too. |
