I don't see why it shouldn't work with a Atom Z520/GMA 500. As long as you have an available mini-pci express slot. The HP driver appears to work in most Atom based computers.

Any chance this will work with an Atom Z520/GMA 500?

The Broadcom chip is designed to decode HD video up to 1080p in H.264, WMV9, MPEG-2, and a handful of other formats. http://www.adapterlist.com/toshiba/satellite-a1...

VGA supports 1080P. Please read the article for the full story.

That leads me to my question of Why? Unless you are hooking this up to a TV or external monitor… but it doesn't really have the ports for that just a VGA out.

Wow, 1080p on a display with 600 lines of resolution. Have to get one of them!

I love stories like this. Shows what can be done for little money. I hope more vendors offer this option. Not something I need, but added to a nettop this could be quite useful.
