Please ask your Freescale distributor.

There are porobably MANY such boards, but your requirements are  very
vague:

1.5 watts just for the processor, or for the whole system?

Fill? You mean just fill with one solid color? Well, even the slowest
8 bit processor will be able to do this. Also, what sort of  graphics
adapter  do  you  intend  to  use?  A fill operation might be handled
completely by the graphics controller, so again this  does  not  give
any hints about necessary computing power.

> 5. PCI interface (to support the GPU)

GPU = Gnutella Processing Unit ???

Sorry, with such vague information no result should be expecrted.

Best regards,
