Just ordered a new motherboard combo with intel atom and GMA 950 graphics engine in the Mini-Itx forma factor.

 

Anybody have any experience running VMC or MCE2005 on this, im particularly interested in how it would handle VOB files , I'm thinking of using it as a mini extender for my movies application.

 

Any thoughts/comments/abuse?Big Smile

I've tried using one of tranquil's Home Servers with a similar spec as a temporary replacement VMC machine and it worked very well. That GPU is never going to handle Blu-ray/H.264 decoding but for standard res stuff it is great. The Atom processors never cease to amaze me.
