I have the single core Ion with 1GB memory, running off a USB
stick of all things. Totally silent. I use a MS MCE (?) USB IR
receiver for the remote. Connected to a 42" LCD. I think it
works great. I have it connected via VGA. I will experiment with
HDMI in the hopes of allowing it to use the TV's deinterlacer.
