nVidia 8200 mGPU.

I'm kind of surprised no one has posted anything about it yet (if I missed it, sorry!). But it looks like the next best thing in an integrated HTPC solution.

I'll let the preview explain the details...

The nVidia 8200 mGPU (http://www.tweaktown.com/articles/1295/nvidia_geforce_8200_preview_palit_n78s/index.html) (product reviewed is the Palit N78S, but just pay attention to the 8200 feature set).

Looks pretty good. Wonder when it'll be out?

anyone has any idea when is this chipset's intel version and/or intel's new G45 chipset will be out?? I'm holding out another htpc client build for my dedicate home theater for those chipset.....

I am in the same boat.

From what I have read, the AMD 8200 version was delayed b/c of driver issues with final review samples appearing in mid to late April. Since I have heard nothing about the Intel versions, I am assuming no sooner than mid May.

I have not read anything about Intel's G45. I know its better than the G35, but thats not saying much. I'm not sure if I trust intel on the HD-acceleration side anyways. :)

In my opinion, the best option right now is a 780G based board. Of course this means you will need to put your differences aside and buy a Phenom. :bday:
