[mythtvnz] Mini-itx vdpau motherboards?

[Douglas Pearless]

I suspect that you will not find any as I note the bandwidth of the old PCI bus may not be sufficient to transfer all the data to the required NVIDIA graphics card in a timely manner...

You may be far better to wait for the NVIDIA ION platform to generate a real product for a (diskless) mythtv frontend.

Cheers
Douglas.
