ST61G4 as HTPC

[Justin S]

I'm just in the process of deciding on the final spec for a HTPC, but the ST61G4 is looking favourite (It will fit nicely in a cupboard for a stealth install)

What I'm struggling to find out is whether the intergrated ATi Radeon 9100 is capable of widescreen output (16:3 etc), or is it just 4:3. Otherwise I will have to fit a graphics card that does this. I will do this eventually to get a dvi output when I have enough cash to get a large lcd, but for the time I'll be outputting to a 100hz Sony CRT via svhs, so would rather save the cash at this point.

May seem like a daft question so apologies if it is, but apart from this point I'm about there on the spec

Have a look on http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/forum...?s=&forumid=26 for HTPC info loads of people on there. I am currently playing around with my SN45G with Fedora (Linux) and MythTV and i am so far very please by the outcome (i think the software is by FAR the hardest bit in a HTPC).
