So if Via arent the best with ivtv and SiS arent good. What do I use? Intel? Nvidia only makes chipsets for AMD being they are the same company now.
I will look see if maybe there is a BIOS update (could that fix it?) If you were to pick out a good motherboard which would you choose? My requirements would be mATX, LGA 775, at least has a digital sound out header (i have a PCI bracket), and AGP.
