I currently have an Intel Atom 330 1.6Ghz system with 2Gb Ram sitting in the cupboard under the stairs acting as a headless NAS box.
What I am wondering is if it is possible to use it as a HTPC
It has onboard graphics but these only have a VGA output
It only has 1 standard pci slot
The case itself is only 5.5 cm thick so any card I put in would have to be very low profile.
Am I right in assuming that it would basically be impossible to find an add in card that will fit in this machine and have HD output through HDMI.
I have looked and you can get Micro ITX motherboards with a faster Atom CPU and onboard HDMI but these are pretty expensive and outside my budget range, plus they all seem to use SODIMM's unlike this one that uses standard memory sticks..
I was hoping to be able to just drop a card in and be done with it.
