which when you benchmark it will be about as fast as a 600MHz P3 (extrapolating from my 600MHz Epia) > and I > was able to watch a movie on my old AMD-K6 400 fer kriss sakes. Which was decoding only, encoding is what takes the processing power. I bet you are able to watch the same movie on the Epia. > My 1.4GHz > Ahtlon XP machine was capable of letting me watch live TV with MythTV, that's a 1400+ Athlon or real MHz? 1400+ is about twice as fast as your Epia and a real 1400 gives another 30%. No comparison. The Epia is well suited for Multimedia purposes due to the onboard mpeg2 decoder. This is as a player. Mythtv will have to record and thus encode. > and do > a whole lot of other stuff at the same time, without ever going anywhere near > top use. But even then, a hardware "encoder" should certainly tip the > balance? Most certainly. If you have the pvr150 you should go to the ivtv list and get that working. Then the Epia will make a fine box. Epia and non-encoding cards are not the best combination :-) Good Luck, Torsten
