100% correct. :-)
When I last looked a couple weeks back, one could still buy nVidia 7300
based boards. These are cheap, have low energy consumption and are fanless.
They work great with the Haiku driver, but overlay video is not supported
on those.
The only other option should be Intel based chipsets with onboard graphics
supported by our Intel driver. But I don't know what's the last supported
version of the chip.
Best regards,
