Hi everybody, i'm new in forum, and i'm sorry, because my English is very low.

I want to build a new HTPC with XBMC on Windows 7.
I don't know which motherboard will be better?
Very important for me are movies in 1080p.

AT5IONT-I DELUXE http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=nF...templete=2
or
E35M1-I DELUXE http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=9BmKhMwWCwqyl1lz

Please for help...
In the future i would like buy a tuner DVB-s2

If you want Linux (or Live) ION is the way to go atm (XBMC Live 10.1 doesn`t have VAAPI 100% stable and implemented, so you are just asking for headackes with Ati and Linux)
Otherwise, the Zacate platform blows away the ION on Windows

-> Faster CPU
-> Better GPU with better PQ
-> Lower power consumption
-> HD audio bitstreaming capabilities

ok... I want use Windows so Zacate will be better, but it will be ok to 1080p? (25 fps?)

Yup, i ran 1080p 40Mbps videos on my Zacate HTPC just fine with MPC-HC and XBMC.

SpectreX nailed it.

SpectreX for the win!!
