SIS? Wow, I didn't know there were people I have never even heard of
making graphics chips. With an Atom230 and no hardware acceleration
(nvidia is the only one doing this in Linux right now) you are going
to be limited to SD resolutions. With so many ION systems available
for <$200 I don't see why you would look at anything else. This won't
come close to the same performance as an ION system will for mythtv
use.
