I am about to start my second HTPC project, and was almost complete with chosing witch parts to use. The original conf. where a Conroe processor (E6300 or E6400), A Nvidia 7300 GS and a m-ATX motherboard built in a small "Hiper" -case.

But then I stumbled upon this one: http://www.abit.com.tw/page/uk/mothe...ile+Socket+478

A motherboard with onboard graphics and HDMI, sure it costs like three times the original mobo I was planning to use. But does anyone know If the integrated "Intel VIIV" is anything that can compare to a dedicated graphiccard for video processing?

Also should I wait a little bit and buy the upcoming Core2duo -merom or should I get one of the existing CoreDuo's T2x00 if I chose this mobo?
