AMD APU job surely? Much more capable than Intel's IGP.

Can't fully spec something right now though, but have a looksie.

Apparently ATI/AMD co-opted some unused pins on DVI to pass audio into the HDMI cable, but you needed a special DVI-HDMI adaptor from them to do it.

I wonder if they've done this with the APUs? This would get around the single HDMI port.

Just a thought.
