I've had pretty good success with a DFI RS482 Infinity motherboard. It has pretty much everything onboard, but it also uses the ATI200 northbridge. My only complaints were that I had to up the voltage on memory to get it to be stable, and there is no hadware DXVA support so CPU is about 20%when decoding TV/DVD.

I'm using ABIT NF8 (nForce3) with AMD Sempron 3100
The cool'n'quiet is useful.

On idle the cpu bumbles along at 1.2MHz and the CPU fan is reduced to something inaudible.
Works for me.
YMMV :)

Hello BarrieSmith,
I am using a mini-ITX board utilizing a similar chipset. The mainboard itself basically is sufficient for MediaPortal use (with reserves) but I am afraid to tell you that the integrated video-adapter is not so you would have to buy a sepparate one. I am using a T5600 CPU by the way, which is the fastest of the 34...
