RGsB -> Sync On Green
YUV / YPbPr -> Component
or use S-video ->Y-C
All of the above can be connected to Scart and are beter quality than Composite Video (Yellow Cinch)
I'd go with S-Video or stay on DataLevel with VGA (RGBHV)

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 had one. It has it's own cooler. I used it with a Core Solo mobile CPU (T1300) and it was completely noiseless. The disadvantage is that you can use only HDMI displays. CRT is not supported, because it doesn't have S- or composite video out and a VGA to SCART is also...

I'm using ABIT NF8 (nForce3) with AMD Sempron 3100
The cool'n'quiet is useful.
I use rmclock. <http://cpu.rightmark.org/products/rmclock.shtml>
and speedfan <http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php>
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...

if you want to keep things silent then you should consider an amd system based on a n athlon x2-be (45w tdp) and an asus m2a-vm motherboard. the athlon produces less heat than the c2d and which is more important produces less heat when there is no stress on the cpu. the same goes for amd motherboards. the onbaord graphics card...

You should read the manual ... On my GA-MA78GM-DS2H it works fine. But you have to switch the output-device. HDMI ORE Optical. Both on the same time is not possible.

The best thing to do is try putting in another graphics card, if the problem continues then its the mobo, if not its the graphics card.
To me it does sound like a graphical issue, because if the mobo was at fault, it prolly wouldn't start up into windows.

Try using RMClock.
There are different profiles used by the program. Performance on Demand is Cool 'n' Quiet. Then you can select a Performance/Power Saving Preference. Setting this to Power Saving Level 4 could perhaps help to avoid your spiking problem.

Just a suggestion but for $0 you could overclock your E4300 & get a big performance improvement. I have an E4300 clocked to 3.4ghz with just a little tweaking & had it as 3.1ghz with no voltage adjustments at all. Your mileage may vary but this may be a good path to follow before you lay out the $$$ for the other cpu's you mentioned...

Remember that Intel CPU in general uses more power than AMD (hence develpo more heat -> more noise), and that AMD has Cool 'n Quiet functions.
