anyone with a 9300IGP motherboard have any test results for 1080i
deinterlacing with vdpau?

neither of the 9400IGP boards Newegg carries quite work for what I
need but there are a couple 9300IGP boards that do.

the other option is upgrade my backend to support 12 harddrives so I
don't have a 6xSATA controller requirement for my frontend and then
sell my Silverstone LC16-S for a smaller/cheaper frontend case and buy
one of the 9400IGP boards...
