Since i figured that others might be interested, i figured that i'd post my experiences in the past week with the 1st of the Nvidia Ion boards to come out. For those that don't know the Zotac IONITX is a mobo with a nvidia ion chipset that mates a 9400 graphics core with a intel atom processor. <br>
<br>I managed to grab one of these boards last week right after the reviews came out.. newegg had them (since sold out)<br>There are 4 different boards with various combinations of single/dual core, and internal DC-DC power vs ATX.<br>
I got the IONITX-C. board.. The board i got has the DC power regulator, and the single core atom N230. <b><br>I would highly recommend this board.</b><br><br>This board is what us myth folks have been looking for since we started this hobby.<br>
I'm using it as a diskless frontend connected to a 40" LCD, playing off of a network master server/backend. <br>Using VDPAU.. <br><ul><li>Can play ATSC OTA recordings both 720p & 1080i, and hdpvr <b>h.264 720p</b> recordings.</li>
