Those boards don't have any PCI slots, only min-pci...There is a
flexible cable mini-pic to pci adapter available from a place called
Interface Masters, but that might not work...
HOWEVER, the new EN150000 mini-itx boards also use the VT1625 chip and
are otherwise basically the same as the SP series motherboards.
And the EN series has an available LVDS/DVI daughterboard so you can
have DVI output if desired. I have not seen any mention of a
daughterboard for the nano boards. And since the idea *is* HD, there si
a good chance that a DVI output is what you want in order to send output
to your HD display.
