dogpile Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Hi, there are allot of people offering this card on Ebay. It is nice to expand your netbook with, so that it has some extra HD decoder capabilities. Features * Single-lane mini-card v1.1 compliant with Clock * Request and ASPM support * Memory-to-memory video decode * Multi-standard HD video decoder - H.264/AVC HP at L4.1 1080i, 40 Mbps - SMPTE VC-1 AP at L3 1080i, 40 Mbps - H.264/AVC HP at L3.2 720p - H.264/AVC HP at L3.0 480i - MPEG-2 MP @ ML - MPEG-2 MP @ HL * Uncompressed video output - YUV 4:2:0/4:2:2 - NV12/YUY2/UYVY YCbCr format support - SD, 720p, 1080i, 1080p support * Strong media security - AES encryption and decryption engine - Encrypted elementary stream compressed input - Firmware verification via digital signature I don't think this is ever going to be supported by OSX86. They didn't even make a move towards Linux/FreeBSD support. I've read on some AppleTV user forums, that this would be a nice upgrade for their system and that they wanted to use people from the OSX86 project to work on this matter.

Chaos Storm Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I am thinking of ordering one of these as well. http://ae.dhs.nu/crystalhd/ mentions there are drivers for Mac OS X, but you need to use it with XBMC. My netbook has Nvidia Ion Graphics but needless to say with Nvidia's graphics woes, any relief I can give to the little chips will help prolong life.
