As I understand it, an ideal motherboard for VDPAU usage is one which<br>
has the Nvidia 9400 IGP (i.e. Gigabit E2SL, etc). However, I've read<br>
that the 9400 IGP cannot handle the most advanced deinterlacing<br>
schemes like Advanced 2X and a discrete graphics card is required.<br>
For about the same price as a Nvidia 9400-based board ($130), I could<br>
get a cheap motherboard and a 9500GT or 9600GT. Since I'm looking to<br>
keep things compact, I'm thinking a low-profile card makes the most<br>
sense. What do you think?<br></blockquote></div><br><br>In one of my frontends, the onboard graphics is a 6150. So I stuck a GF9800GT/OC in there. I can run all the deinterlacers. I don't notice a big difference between Advanced 2X and Temporal 2X on my setup. My screen is a 60" 720p, it might be more noticeable on a 1080p screen I suppose. My other FE is an 8000 series onboard and I use Temporal 2X there. It looks good to me. Better than any deinterlacer my CPU can run. <br>
<br>If you want to keep things compact, I would go with the Zotac mini-ITX ION board and a suitable case. Those are small enough to mount to the back of a TV. My next FE will likely be based on this or something like it if more ION boards make it out before then. <br>
