I stand corrected. You're right though, and it's coming back to me now. Heh, it's been years since I really kept up with the hardware scene. I agree that the bus speed won't help PCI, but overall, it will help with DMA, specifically to-from the hard drive/ata interface, since I would assume the newer boards would be faster in those respects... > I'm running my PVR350 in a Shuttle S55 (I think) X-PC.

I just wish it wasn't locking up with dma deadlocks or whatever the heck is going on on our systems. For the recording/playback on the PVR-350, it's definitely very low CPU usage if any. It's the framebuffer / X stuff that screwy. -Kenneth ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
