A good test, certainly, but I have another observation to share that begs a different test first. On Sunday we went to a seasonal party in the afternoon (stick with me, this is going somewhere), and I set the Chargers/Lions to record. We got home late, and I started watching on the TV downstairs (output through Gus's nVidia card that I downloaded drivers for my own inadequate self). The playback was herky-jerky in video and sound. Awful. If it hadn't been Chargers football, I'd have deleted it right then. Then the 5-yr-old kicked me off in favor of Scoobey-Doo, so I went upstairs to the remote FE on my wife's Linux desktop. Watched the first three quarters (who _are_ these guys ... and what have they done with the 2007 San Diego Chargers?). It was smooth as silk, sound and video. So I'm thinkin' the root cause is probably the Lan-loaded nVidia drivers, and the preferred solution is the dongle on your card. And then I can return the nVidia to Gus. Everybody is served and my conscience is lightened (I love to abuse Gus in writing, but not in fact).
