How many Quad Royals are in the wild?

A lot of those boards are electricly PCI-e x1,x4, or x8 with physical x16 slots.

You could free up an expansion slot by using one of these with H.264 Hardware encoding VS the software encoding of the x1 card.

I guess that just adds to the appeal of the ATI All in Wonder X1900.
