Hi there,
I have a Intel DN2800MT board laying around. I thought I could use it for a bedroom xbmc appliance but I read about the poor graphics support with Linux. I found out with a 3.3 Kernel you can actually manage to get a fullHD resolution running but video playback is poor...
Since the board has 2 mini pci e slots I came to the idea to buy a EUR 30,- Broadcom Crystal HD BCM970015 and would hope that helps with hardware acceleration of video playback?
What you guys think would that card help? It would make a perfect fan less low power appliance together with a msata flash drive in the second mini pcie slot...
Cheers
Christian
