IMHO, if this is going to be a dedicated BE/FE (and assumingly eventually a dedicated one or the other when you get addtional hardware) I wouldn't be so pressed to find PCI-E. AGP Nvidia GF4 that support XVMC should be plenty. Why dump a bunch of really fast, really screamin hardware in there and create that much more heat and cost? You can get by, assuming you're doing XVMC offloading for all HD, with much less of a system. And if you are just recording with PVR's or HD tuners recording HD, CPU is barely touched, it's all hardware driven captures. A P4 1.8-2.4Ghz should be plenty (AMD XP 1800-2600). There is no need to see what hardware does what, again, assuming this is only a myth system and NOT a gaming platform or a desktop. :) Cool _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
