Yes, sorry typo. Ion chipset for intel atom processor.
The ion chipset includes a nvidia 9400m gpu and it is this that enables the
use of vdpau in mythtv, offloading certain media playback tasks to the gpu.

Different nvidia chips different codecs... the nvidia chips (certain 8x00
series and 9x00 series) support mpeg2 and h264 but not mpeg4part2 (divx).

The gt220 supports mpeg4part2 divx i think as well.

If your looking for a new frontend people seem to be looking for boards with
onboard ion or preferably ion2.
If you are looking for a pci card (which is different to pciexpress) youll
likely have to look on ebay for an old one. Pci bus is also quite limited...
if you have the option on your motherboard go for a pciexpress board. A pci
express board should be in the 50quid range.

Please excuse brevity and pistakes, this email was sent from my Android
smart phone.

Thanks and best regards,

Richard Morton
