entertainment system CPU

[Cnuke]

I was reading an article some time ago and I could not remember which chipset was bad 810 or 815. I am looking at building a new system for my entertainment system to watch divx and dvd on my TV, but do not want to get a bad motherboard. Can anyone help clear this up for me as well if you have any reccomendations on a tiny motherboard that is good? One that is designed for video.

Any suggestions to help me with this project would be great.

Thanx for all of your help.

You might what to check out the forums here, they have a section devoted to home theatre computers.

Hmm, I am not sure about a tiny motherboard.
But there are cases out there about the size of a large VCR designed for that fact.
You don't really need anything to powerful

450mhz, and a 1x DVD rom would be plenty if you have a hardware decoder, and a nice soundcard.
