I'm not quite there yet.  I've stuck an AMD X2 5200 in this MB with the hope
that it can display 1080i AVCHD from my camcorder.  My initial tests with
mplayer svn resulted in stuttering, but CPU usage was "OK" at 65% or so.
Also it seems only one core was loaded, so I have more playing to do.

I'm using the catalyst 8.47.3 drivers, and I found them very finicky.  For
this build I'm using mythbuntu, and as an old slackware user, I'm used to
edtting things by hand and compiling from source.  Slackware thinking +
mythbuntu =   the need for a re-install.

Overall I'm pleased with the MB so far.  Note though that with a standard
CPU + heatsink, this mini-itx board won't fit into many mini-itx cases.  (I
think this not the case manufacturer's fault.  I think std heatsinks + fans
result in a profile that exceeds the nomal mini-itx profile).  Note also
that most mini-itx cases don't expect the heat associated with a regular
CPU.  Even though this is only a 65W CPU, I needed to add fans to my case.

I'm using HDMI to output to an 47LG70.  The TV reports 1080i or 1080p signal
(as I expect it), but I have significant underscanning (ie border ) around
the edges.  X is telling me the res is 1920x1080, so I'm  a bit confused,
but I haven't looked into this much yet.


regards,

jp
