Don't let that stop you, it's a great board. It's an 8200 chipset, not
listed on the support list for VC-1 VDPAU. I suppose it might work, but I
wouldn't count on it as NVidia doesn't list it. If you really must have
VC-1, I would look for a 9300 based motherboard. The only ones I see on
Newegg are for Intel chips though. Of course, you don't need a lot of CPU
with VDPAU, so you might be able to get similiar cost with the Intel based
option.
