</div>ION 2 is Atom + Nvidia, this is AMD + Nvidia. Even so, I'd be<br>
interested to hear any reports on how good the 9200 chipset is at vdpau<br>
playback because this is £70 cheaper than the Revo R3700 which I've been<br>
looking at. Or any other comments on this box as a myth frontend. I<br>
notice in one of the comments on ebuyer someone mentions that it would<br>
make a good mythtv frontend :-)<br>
