What GPU does the nvidia ION A type board have? Wikipedia lists it as
NVIDIA PureVideo HD. And if you look that up on wikipedia then it
could be any of the GPUs
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_PureVideo#Table_of_PureVideo_.28HD.29_GPUs

Ideally you would like to have the 9400/9500 type GPU that can do both
h264 and VC1.
