need this card to give I hdmi out on a pcus port -lrb- not pci-e -rrb- for a low power atom mini-itx motherboard to run xbmc . initially I have xbmc live -lrb- linux version -rrb- which be work ok with onboard video , but could not get this card to work with linux . it appear it be not support with linux . I then run the pc up with window 7 and install xbmc ontop of it . Works like a treat , under window . I get sound and video over the hdmus connection . have not try with a hd blu-ray rip yet , but so far very happy .
