wow. the cheapest GTX 460 on newegg is $170. That’s a hard sell compared to a $50 HD5XXX card.

Or the the integrated GPU in the Clarksdale i3.
But the use for an HTPC with a card with the power of a GTX 460 is for gaming. An i3, combined with a 460 or similar card, would do very well with most current PC games, even Crysis. Most these newer non-Atom HTPC machines would be fine for gaming if they just had a proper GPU.
