Pros: Built-in HDMI and the 8200 chipset can do hardware decoding for video and 7.1 lpcm for audio. On paper, it's the perfect HTPC motherboard, but...

Cons: Hardware interrupts prevent the board from working smoothly. I have a dual core 45watt processor on here, and the second core was running at 100% usage, all due to hardware interrupts. It turned out to be the ethernet port when it's in use (eg utorrent running in the background, many firefox windows, etc), and a driver direct from Nvidia reduced the interrupts from 100% to only 50-75% on the second core, but it's still there. Also, DXVA is supported, but hardware interrupts show up here too. When I am using DXVA, hardware interrupts keep the second core at about 50% usage.

Overall Review: I bought this board for use in a HTPC, along with a 4050e processor and 4GB RAM. I've tried both XP and Vista (both 32 bit), and the hardware interrupts aren't fixed by the different driver versions. I really wanted to like this board, but it just won't work correctly for my needs. It will work fine for most, but the excessive hardware interrupts need to be fixed.
