New ATV2 (AppleTV2) verses old ATV1 (AppleTV1) with or without Broadcom Crystal HD?

There should be no debate. ATV2 > ATV

The ATV2 can play 1080p video - with only marginal artifacts occurring on high-bitrate videos. The added benefit of HDMI, form factor and appearance make this a no-brainer.

With the ATV, the CyrstalHD card is required to be installed to allow for HD viewing. However, all wifi capability will be lost. Not feasible for some people.

It'd need a mini PCIe slot for that... not seeing one... looks like the Wi-Fi chip is on a daughter board that's not mini-PCIe (see step 10):
