If ION is as good as a GT220 with 576i, 720p and 1080p then it could be very suitable for my needs. > > > > It seems that the IONs are VP3/B so your prosal is certainly better (if > > there is HDMI audio support). > > ION2 has VP4/C, I think. > > If you don't need advanced 1080i deinterlacing, Asus AT5IONT-I is a very > good option right now.
