Ok, I am upgrading my current HTPC to a more modern and power/heat friendly version.

Currently im using my old left over ATX AMD thing which runs fairly hot.

So im looking for something along these line:

I would like it to have DVI/HDMI output, Optical sound and I would be very happy if it would play HD upto 1080i.


anyone have any good ideas or recomendations

instead of the 4400+ i would take a x3 be-2300 or 2350. instead of 65w they have a tdp of 45w. i dont know the clockspeeds from memory but dispite from the number an heat these cpus should be the same (if there is a difference then it is no more than 200mhz).
