I would be curious to see how the PQ compares against an HTPC that has a discrete GPU such as the Radeon 4670. Obviously this type of device would not replace an HTPC that is used as a PVR or for ripping/encoding/serving, but as a pure media extender I see a lot of potential. I would probably want to wait until W7 comes out since it is supposed to be a lot less of a resource hog then Vista. Intel Atom 330 (Dual-Core CPU) NVIDIA ION graphics processor 2GB DDR2 800 MHz memory, support dual channel, maximum memory capacity 4GB 2.5' HDD 320GB DVD Super Multi (Slim type) Small (2.5L) Silent (acoustic below 26 dB) Stylish (High gloss outlook) Energy Star 5.

i have try a lot combination of codes with no luck. All you would need is a remote w/ IR receiver or the diNovo Mini that I use and possibly add a USB Blu Ray Drive. hi guys,i also own the asrock ion 330, sd work perfect, hd matrosk work perfect with no drop frames or glits but in hdtv 1080i refresh rate cant go more than 42 as result i have micro stuter and glits. Expected price is around $300, which puts it right in line with the PCH and the HD200. ION-alustaan sisältyvä, Nvidian hintaansa ja sähkönkulutukseensa nähden hyvin suorituskykyinen GeForce 9400M -grafiikkapiiri tarjoaa riittävästi tehoa teräväpiirtovideon. If this sleek little device can handle all the media extender needs of my HTPC at a fraction of the cost and a small form factor, ooh baby I am in (Ok, I am a little too excited 😉 ). 'ASRock ION 330 on nimensä mukaisesti Nvidian ION -laitealustaan ja Intelin Atom 330 -prosessoriin perustuva pienikokoinen nettop-tietokone. However, they are on the large side (think size of a receiver) and can get up there in price.

Man this thing is so sexy I want to whistle at it, especially since it is supposed to handle 1080p HD content!!! I currently have 2 DIY HTPCs in my house and love the flexability it gives me to choose what interface I want to use. Head over to Hothardware to read up on the first (of many hopefully) NVidia Ion based Acers.
