Ion coming soon...
http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1136815
I wonder if an Atom 280 or 330 could be installed...I have a hard time knowing that there is a better CPU out there. I think I might get one of these (or the competitions') to play with. Clients make a come back? ![]() P |

I've never seen a socketed Atom. Single core any more is kind of dumb unless you're talking about something portable. Maybe they'll come out with a dual-core version.
Would be neat to see if it's workable as a client. With it coming with Vista Home Premium EVR acceleration would be a fairly simple thing to get working on it.

There's definitely a lot of buzz around the various forums for this device and it will be definitely interesting to see the reviews and user (early adopter) feedback between now and june when several other models are reported to be released. -Topper |

Yea, I've seen a review of the reference unit on Tech Report. It looks like a really promising platform. I was refering specifically to the Acer unit. I think, though, even with a single core Atom it should still be able to work as a SageTV Client given the video acceleration.

Somehow I doubt this will come about since the market segment this machine is aimed at is clearly in the low end. Since HDMI covers new TV's I doubt they'll add component and SPDIF since it will just add to the cost and not provide any tangible benefits to the majority of consumers. HDMI already provides digital audio and video and DVI compatibility. Most TV's have at least a VGA port on them. You'd just be stuck with analog audio.
