[mythtv-users] Question about nforce2 MB

[Jeff Clowser]

What motherboard?  I had a similar problem (think it was an abit board) 
that turned out to be a bios setting.  Unfortunately, I forget what BIOS 
setting this was, and I don't have this mobo anymore (was building a 
system for my parents with it...).  I ran into a few problems with it, 
but I vaguely seem to remember it having to do with either the fsb speed 
or the RAM timing/speed, but I could be misremembering this :(
