Hi all,

I'm looking at building a relatively cheap HTPC.
This will be used predominately for streaming movies via XBMC and occasional internet usage and possibly some light gaming.

I was looking originally at getting a Zacate based system but heard that there are still some issue with Flash .
So my current dilemma is do i go purchase a Intel Pentium G620T + mobo, wait for Llano to arrive or just get a Zacate system?

Now if i go with the intel setup i can purchase parts now and set up a system but do i need an additional onboard GFX card? I want to send audio via HDMI to my AV receiver so i guess it needs to be able to bitstream.
I guess if i wait for the Llano based chips that will have a more powerful GPU on board. Will they use a new mobo socket?

sorry for the questions. i'm just confused.
