Has anybody used on the the Geforce 7050PV boards? I was looking at the 6150 boards because I want integrated VGA, microATX, NVidia, and DVI/HDMI output. Can anybody confirm if the HDMI works with the NVidia driver? I also have heard that there are problems with the OSD with newer Nvidia cards. Does the 7050PV work correctly under Mythtv? If so, this motherboard with the new AMD BE-2350 seems to be a killer combination.
