I am thinking of building a new htpc (havent de decided yet if i go to mini itx or micro atx) but i want to know if i go
To mini itx solution and wont use a dedicated gfx card if the new ivy bridge have solved the 24p problem...
Also what feature should i look in a mb in order for my new htpc to be started - shut down using an ir or rf remote?

They all (Intel, amd, and nvidia) have the "24p bug".

I want use mostly for movies mkv and bd isos.. And if i can also play diablo... Why not...
Assassin you mean that even an external gfx card will also have the 24p bug?

Also about the 24p issue... The xtreamer ultra 2 ( that uses atom with embedded gfx card) claims that there is no 24p issue..

Thank you for the answers .
Thinking of buying the asrock h77- itx motherboard...
It offers what i need and i trust asrock...
More questions coming..
A)Going for an i5 ( due to price ofc) .. Which i5 sandy is the coolest?
B)by saying that 24p is not perfect you mean also by using an external gfx card?
C)Also which gfx card would you recommend for a mini itx system that will be on a living room.. (big noisy cards are a nono)
As ive mentioned will go for fractal 304 case that i think will provide suffient airflow to my system with the minimum possible noise..
