A new BIOS from AMD adds a plethora of new features to motherboards based on its 690G chipset: with IGP

• 720p video playback support
• 1080p video playback
• voltage adjustments
• memory timing settings
• multiplier settings for CPU clock
• multiplier settings for HyperTransport clock
• IGP GPU overclocking

You might want to improve the stock chipset cooler if you overclock the chipset a lot :-)

It sounds like with the new BIOS, the 690G will make a neat little HTPC platform!
