I'm planning on shuffling some hardware around and I'd like to run this
by the list to see if anyone might be able to shed some light on
potential issues I might run into...
Current Myth box:
Asus A7NX8-E Deluxe Mobo
1 Gig Dual DDR Ram
Athlon XP 3000 CPU
ATI Radeon 9550 w/256M Ram
Hauppauge PVR 350
Seagate 250G disk
The box is in my living room. Everything here is working just fine
In my rec room, I have an HD and a Moto 6412 that I'd like to stream to
my PC via firewire. I know the firewire is active since I've played
around with it at one time.
What I'd like to do:
Rebuild the living room Myth box with existing HW I have:
MSI KT4V-L Mobo (Via KT400 chipset)
512M RAM
Athlon XP 1800
Leadtek Winfast 2000XP Deluxe
Move from Living PC to this new one:
Hauppauge PVR 350
Seagate 250G HD (moving this so I don't lose all of my current
recordings, I can just rebuild the kernel)
For the Moto 6412 firewire connected box:
Asus A7NX8-E Deluxe Mobo
1 Gig Dual DDR Ram
Athlon XP 3000 CPU
Nvidia GeForce FX 5500 w/ 256M
1x Seagate 200G
1x Seagate 250G
A few questions that are stuck in my mind:
1 - how is the firewire on the Asus Mobo? If it's not great, I have a
3-port IEEE1394 card I can stick into that box (I think it's a Dynex -
from Best Buy).
2 - I plan on connecting the on-board SPDIF to my stereo. Has anyone
done it with this board (or any other NForce2 board) and will I have to
screw around to get it working?
Thanks for your input. I think I'll be doing this early in the new year.
