Yeah, systems that use integrated GPU are becoming less and less useful 
for MythTV frontends now that nvidia has left the chipset business.  It 
means that you'll likely need discrete graphics if you want something 
other than outdated graphics.  Note that "discrete graphics" includes 
the "discrete" mobile graphics approach (where someone sticks a laptop 
graphics part onto a motherboard), as used with the ION2 Atom systems, 
the Mac Mini, or the ASRock Vision 3D.
