, guess we'll find out if it's possible.
Today, I've replaced my old mainboard with P4 CPU with D945GCLF2 (Dual Core Atom) mainboard. The PC runs so cool that I sould disable the case fans so I have a silent htpc on my living room. I put 2GB RAM on it and I'm using onboard graphics. I've tested 720P videos and there was no apearent problems. I' enabled lm-sensors and fan pwm to make it more silent. Now, the small fan on the chipset is not running all the time.
I'm using the mainboard with Kubuntu 8.04 and using XBMC for media center. I'm using this htpc with an old 28" CRT TV. I could not get any video from the s-video port, so I'm using a VGA-TV converter to get video on TV.
Did you manage to receive any video on s-video port?
... Live long and prosper...
