I might give that a try, but I can lock up the box using the keyboard, and I know the key repeat rate isn't that fast. > Mythbackend at 80% hmm.

I think it's so high because the pci ata card I put in is on the same bus as the pvr-350, so they're both compeating for whatever bus there is. I'd say the difference between a 3ghz and 3.2ghz is about 200mhz! ;) I priced out a 1.5ghz, just don't know if I should really spring for something more than that or not...

I had thought this, but I put a fan right over the heatsink on the 350, and it stays completely cool the touch now. I can also "unlock" my system by hitting enter in an SSH connection or ping flood it, and it will come back to live, usually long enough to exit mythfrontend... Thanks though.... If only I could use the box long enough to overheat the card in the first place ;) -Kenneth ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
