Hello

Are there yet Asus motherboards that has the Designed for Windows Media
Center Edition Logo?

I'm looking for a new system with MCE and an Asus mainboard.

Thanks

If that is true, it is too soon to see products with the Logo.
If you visit the Microsoft web site, they don't even mention
motherboards as being candidates for the Logo! Maybe an ordinary
Windows logo is good enough ?

Your problem is, you are trying to use motherboards with
integrated graphics, and the feature sets on those leave a lot
to be desired (every motherboard works slightly different in
terms of video modes supported). Perhaps installing a video card
with the Logo will help. That way, there is one less feature
required of the motherboard.

Why not email Microsoft and ask them how best to guarantee MCE
will work on the computers you build ?

You can't buy MCE unless your an OEM. Building your own PVR isn't
something Microsoft wants you doing, look into MythTV if thats your aim.
 
I'm an oem so that's no problem. I heard from my vendor that there are some
Gigabyte board that has that logo but I can't find that on the website of
Gigabyte. By the way, Gigabyte is not an option.. to many problems had
before. I'm going to contact Microsoft. I let you now.
