Use the onboard GeForce, drop the XP3000 in as well ;-) With the 3000 you won't need XvmC, but like what Tom said it will reduce CPU requirements. The faster CPU can be used for commercial detect, etc. Steve _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
