[QUOTE="jerrem, post: 46262, member: 19618"] I agree no point in trying sp800 boards for htpc. I tried using sp1300 board and even with the extra grunt gave me a head ache. The claimed high def on board graphics is not supported under windows!!! If you know how to use linux then great there is support for the on board mp4 encoder (apparently). The only solution i can think of that might work under windows is to get either a pci graphic card that can do the mpg decoding. however via boards have only one pci slot. might want to give a two slot pci raiser card a go. This however got to hard for me. Im using my tiny sp1300 to surf the net at the moment as i think of another purpose for it. ( maybe a solar powered computer) Iam now working on setting up a old amd 1.7ghz machine for htpc seems to be working well so far. BUt man its loud compared to the via, and i bet it uses a bucket load more power. But hey it works!!! [/QUOTE]
