[mythtv-users] Low Power Frontends (in anticipation of nvidia's new API)

[Ma Begaj]

I was thinking about VDPAU a few days ago. But when I yesterday heard
that Nvidia is going have its GPU 9400M on Atom motherboards, I will
wait.

i.e. new eee box with Atom 330 and nvidia 9400M would be absolutely great.
