Re: [Freevo-users] Epia Mini-ITX Capabilities?

Fri, 29 Aug 2003 14:31:44 +0000 

FWIW ... my EPIA 800 would play DiVX on freevo, but it would skip a
bit. I'm still a n00b, so its not like I had the system optimized and I
was running KDE as my windows manager (256mb of ram) ... a friends EPIA
1000 ran full screen Divx just fine with windows XP install on it ...
so I think the capabilities are there, and there's an overclocking
utility that should make it all work very nicely... optimizing is key.

 A nice system would be one with a fanless CPU cooler, fanless
(external) PSU, and an IDE to Compact Flash adapter so you can run off
compact flash as if it were an IDE drive ... silent, and
SMALL...perfect!

I'm looking at setting up a dedicated media box (running Freevo of
course),
and am looking at the VIA EPIA Mini-ITX boards. From what I've read,
the EPIA
M 1000 (DDR, Nehemia core) will take any (within reason) multimedia
playback
task assigned it. However, it seems to be a fairly large chunk more
expensive
than the older EPIA 1000 (SDR).

How well does the older model stack up to the newer one? Will it
still be able
to handle high quality DivX's and the like, or is it really worth
forking out
the extra to get the M-range, DDR, Nehemia core?

What other feature differences are there between the two classes of
boards 
 that may effect purchase choice? (TV Out quality? On-board feature
 differences?)

Thanks...
