I just put in my order for an Athlon64 3500+ Abit AV8 mobo w/ 1G pc3200. The box is going to be a HD frontend/backend with 2 Air2pc cards, and maybe firewire from Comcast.
In an effort to stay on budget, the rest of the hardware will come from stuff lying around the house. Which leads to my question: I have a Radeon 7000 (AGP 2x / 64 MB) that is not being used. I also have a Radeon 9550 (AGP 8x / 128 MB) thats in my main workstation. Is it worth the trouble of reconfiguring my workstation with the 7000 so I can have the 9550 in the myth box? >From what I've read, the display card isn't that important unless XvMC is used, which I understand might be supported by the Radeon hardware, but not supported by the available drivers. At any rate, I'm planning on doing straight software HD decoding -- and I expect a 64/3500+ should do fine with that. Does it make a difference which card I use? Should I get a different card? _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
