Via EPIA... Painfully slow... Even for SD... (at least, I find my own  
M10k board pitifully slow, but that's partially because its somewhat  
memory-limited at 256M).

I'd suggest also taking a look at an Intel D945GCLF2 (not LF2D). Its  
got an onboard SVideo output. Not sure offhand how functional Linux  
support for Intel video SVideo out is though...
