Sapphire PURE White E350 (IPC-E350M1W) (1 Viewer)

[HTPCstarter]

Hi everyone,
I'm new in your community
I used the search function but I didn't find anything about this AMD fusion motherboard, so please don't kill me if a similar thread already exists... ;-)

I think about building my first HTPC, in fact, it will be more or less a streaming client at the moment (without a TV card). Main task is playing movies/music from my NAS and send it via HDMI to my receiver and from there to the TV + surround system.
So nothing special here about gaming, 24/7 usage or something fancy. Maybe later... ;-)

My first choice is the "PURE White E350" (IPC-E350M1W) from Sapphire (+ 1x 4GB Kingston Value RAM)
(http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/product_index.aspx?psn=0001&pid=1143&lid=1#) .

Has anybody experience with this board?
Actually, is MediaPortal running on this board?
Is it possible to watch (HD-)movies from an internal storage, respectively, stream (HD-)movies from an external storage with the Pure White (Gbit network exists)?

I'm happy about any comments from you. And I hope to benefit from your experience!

cheers,
HTPCstarter

From what I have read about the E350, it has HD playback weaknesses that its bigger brother the E450 overcomes, so you might want to wait for some further comments relating to this.
