would like to use this MB as a diskless frontend. I picked one up for 99.00 including a gig of ram.

I have to use the vesa driver as I can not watch tv using the sis driver. The frontend works fine until I go to watch tv then i get just colored lines.

Just letting any one considering it to beware, although it works fine with Vesa, cpu usage when watching live SD tv is about 70% . So it does work fine.

The board has no tv out but I use a projector with the vga out.

PS: Anyone with suggestions as to how I might get it working with the sis driver, send them my way.

Intel has posted a driver on there support site. Using this driver and a bit of fooling around I have a great low power network booting frontend.

Playing SD TV cpu usage is about 50% (was 90% using vesa)

Cost

MB and 1 gig of ram $90.00
Mini ITX Case $80.oo

Thats it, no hard drive no optical drive.
