PCI?  No.  If you have no free PCI-express slot, then clearly you can't
upgrade easily.

The alternative is a motherboard with a recent Intel GMA chipset, which
we will also support.

I certainly wouldn't forget that, since that's exactly the situation I
use Freevo for.

We're moving into the HD era.  You need a more capable system to play HD
content.  If HD content doesn't interest you and UI eye candy, Freevo
1.x will continue to be available for as long as Duncan is motivated to
work on it.

Supporting older hardware is a pain with increasingly diminishing
returns.

Cheers,
Jason.
