this is simply wrong. As I mentioned earlier I currently with my new non-
VIA MVP3 motherboard, 64Megs LESS RAM,(128M now vs. 192M before) same
harddrives + Slackware 7.1 install, same compile of aviplay, same kernel
compile options except I switched the CPU type to K7, same install of X,
the 2 different things were the motherboard (ECS K7VZA) and the CPU (Duron
800) my current 'benchmark' on numerous divxii (the plural of divx ;)
is between the mid-150M and slightly over 160M range. So this 50-60M
max stuff is nonsense.
(the old board was a FIC VA-503+ & an AMD K6-2 450 and I guess due to the
kernel bug I was getting 24M _tops_ (usually 18-21M))
the videocard in question is a voodoo3 3500 btw.
