hmm, i seem to remember a conversation like this about 2 years ago
that prompted me (my fault, i know) to run out and buy in Intel mobo
with Intel graphics and chipset that never got support.  too bad
really cause it's a decent board (way overpowered) for an HTPC setup.
would be nice if there was another decent player in the graphics game
though.  options are always welcome. :)
