Apologies for hijack as I am also wanting to build an HTPC.
The A6 and A8 are fine and in many cases a Llano CPU is the better choice for an HTPC build IMHO. However,the 65W versions of the A6 and A8 have not been released yet together with the A4 dual core and there are still no FM1 mini-ITX motherboards in the UK ATM.
