If VC-1 is not a factor now, and if deinterlacing is becoming less of an
issue, then I'm on the market again for a card.

I need:

      * fanless
      * HDMI with audio doing the "HD audio" that is known to work

The list got shorter.

I'm hitting the wiki for info, but if anybody has a pointer, I'm taking
it!
