[mythtvnz] Debating the ionitx - single or dual core?

[Mark Kendall]

There's some BIOS updates that I'm going to look at to see if they help
with the fan/temperature identification - just need to make a usb dos
boot device first - which I assume that can be done.

The newer ION motherboards keep the USB bus powered up so a remote can
turn it on as well as off (I use a silverstone case with iMon VFD to do
this, had to make myself a little cable though as the iMon requires a
floppy drive power connector to work).

Currently as it stands, in the bedroom the CPU fan supplied would annoy
me at night.
