I'm running a Gigabyte GA-G33M-S2H for my Freevo box right now, and it's been working perfectly with optical spdif and 1080p over HDMI. Sadly, it doesn't appear to be available any more since the G4x motherboards were released. However, I just bought a GA-EG43M-S2H, but not for Freevo, even though it has spdif and HDMI/DVI. If you're willing to temporarily endure some video driver growing pains (Mine is running in vesa atm, but other people are running with the Intel driver just fine, I hear) you could go with one of those. I will check the spdif output when I get home to make sure the audio is ok. The G45 version adds some hardware-accelerated decoding features, which probably won't work in Linux for a good while, but you really won't need it considering what CPU you're planning to use. -- James Oakley [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Freevo-devel mailing list Freevo-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-devel
