Just would like to add that I have had a Fusion E35-M1 Deluxe since it was released and my headaches are non stop. If you are thinking about this board for your htpc, oh god, don't do it. I concur with every negative post on here. I have tried it all from custom compiling to different distributions, including slackware and arch, and no joy.
There is another solution beyond next gen ion for those looking for blu-ray audio formats. Look to a Zotac motherboard "Mini-ITX" that has an embedded GT430 chip on it. 50 percent of the time I look for it on Newegg its sold out. Has to be getting popular. I know its an expensive build however after living with Fusion for about 6 months now I can see the value on something that actually works. Currently hating myself for running winblows 7 with a ds player build of XBMC and I still cant get dts-ma to work. WTF ATI?
About to sacrifice usability and use MPC-HC as an external player with the supremely crappy imon driver (windows). It just gets worse and worse each and every time I try to rebuild this HTPC. Should have learned long ago that Nvidia is the only way.
