Hi,
I'm after a cheap mini itx with 1 PCI slot to house a Hauppauge S2 card.
My idea being, I can have something like MythTV backend running and XBMC frontend on the same system.
I have seen the Intel D510MO which I think may fit the bill. http://www.ebuyer.com/product/191127
I'm fairly confident that both these things will run ok, but I'm not sure how well they will run.
My question is, as this isn't an ION board, I am just wondering if it will run ordinary AVI/DVDs fine (I'm sure it will), and then an extension on this, how well it will cope with HD content.
I have also seen the Broadcom Crystal HD mentioned. My searches on the forums have suggested that these might be needed for 1080p but not 720p, but I can't find anything definitive.
Thanks for your time.
