Isn't that overkill? (I mean, with hw accelerated people are using an atom)
Yes it is, but * the CPU should have some potential for undervolting * configuration on speedstep i hope i can tweak
I hope to get some potential for easy converting/whatever??? and have a not so hungry CPU otherwise (i read something like 8W idle which matches my current CPU which i used last years and it should idle most of he time assuming vdpau works as expected)
Mainboard w/o IGP GT210/220
If I go this route (separate motherboard and graphic card) what about audio through hdmi? Any card will do or should I look for a specific one with some form of spdif pass-through?
I don't have experience on this and its not a concern for me, but maybe still give you some facts:
* the cards all have an audio pass trough, no connector though * the card reports to have an audio device * this audio device is not supported yet, but some people reported success to at last get it recognized with some patches, not sure if its working for anyone allready
