Thanks for the reply, Sharktooth.

Yeah, the Atom alone won't cut it. :) Question, of course, is: will the hardware accelerated ION chipset be able to handle the 60-80Mbps?

And like I said, were it up to me I rather have a motherboard with a regular quadcore or some such; but, sadly, the only motherboards with HDMI video + audio onboard are based on the erroneous assumption that I want a CPU that uses the least bit of power possible, instead of a processor that can actually do what I want.
