[QUOTE="charli181, post: 213023, member: 54408"] As quoted, the Asus M2A VM HDMI does have some problems with the 690G chipset. It requires either running the Catalyst 7.2 drivers or modifing the skins to disable the reflections (FLIPY parameter) through a text editor. Other than that, the onboard GPU works quite well, although I have not tried H264 or Bluray/HDDVD. I am running ffdshow as my video codec with software deinterlacing and 1 core runs at 80% on MPEG2 HD TV (13Mb/s). My CPU is AM2 +4800 with 1GB of Ram and that is good enough for me. As for the sound, It does run thru the HDMI output to the LCD TV but, I have an Amp, so I just have sound connected with coax digital output to amp all the time. ( As Tim 'The Tool Man' Allen says "More power - agh agh agh"). Just becareful as the M2a VM comes in 2 variants. The standard which has not got the daughterboard for HDMI and digital output. The M2A VM HDMI has the daughterboard but it consumes the PCI-E slot which then rules out an add on Graphics card if you want HDMI and digital output. Food for though... [/QUOTE]
