@ 10 Wizard - I was thinking more 'My BBQ' with options for 5, 10, 20 guests

The fact that Intel have launched the 975 chipset without any Intel branded motherboard product is something I can't figure; the specs for the chipset are more hi-end gamer than MCE / ViiV, so why no product? Are they waiting until January to unveil a 975 ViiV package? Is that what Ricavision will be using?

I'm planning to upgrade my MCE mid-2006, hopefully by then the current muddy ViiV picture will be a whole lot clearer.
