Has anyone determined for sure what cards will handle Advanced 2x
deinterlacing of 1080i content?

My current card isn't VDPAU capable at all.  For the time being, my
frontend (3 Ghz Dell 4700) handles HD without problems.  Thinking
forward, my only real interest in a VDPAU capable card would be for
deinterlacing.

For me the show stopper with this frontend would be the need for a low
profile, small form factor, fanless card.  At least as far as the 9500
cards go I'm pretty sure no such animal exists.
