Yeah, I thought about it, but I haven't fpund one, I can just seem to
find boards with integrated AIT or SiS chips, and I understand they are
not really HDTV-friendly?

I didn't find the Abit at my normal retailer, but I found it elsewhere.
There is a cheaper model (M2S) that has a GeForce6100. Is there (for
MythTV purposes) any diff what so ever between 6100 and 6150?

Also, does it do Boot from LAN and WOL?

And, I see no mention of S/PDIF? ... Oh wait.. the M2S is lacking it.
The M2 has it.

But, it does seem to be "just right" for the job., thanks!
