My understanding from the literature on the EPIA boards is
that this isn't really an MPEG decoder, but some form of
math co-processor that offloads some of the decoding from
the main processor. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
My goal here would be a low-cost, quiet (fanless) box using
minimal CPU. The EPIA 5000 is pretty cheap, just not sure if
I move to the software (hardware assisted) decoding that:
a) the box would be able to handle this at 500 or 733 mhz - or -
b) the box would overheat running the CPU full-tilt to
do the "hardware assisted" decoding in a fanless box
