I have that Biostar board and use the onboard video, via VGA though,
not svideo, for HDTV with a pchdtv card. The VGA is running at 800x600
because that's what my projector is. Using  just Xv and software
decoding with an mobile 2800XP overclocked to nearly 2.2Ghz. The CPU
basically runs at 100% but video is smooth with 1080i and Bob-DeInt. I
have never tested higher resolutions on the output though. I'm not
sure if the increase in data moving would cause skips or not.... DOOM3
on the other hand.... probably not going to be very good looking.
