[mythtv-users] 933 PIII with i815e chipset as frontend?

[Jason R Neuhaus]

I'm using a P3 450, lol.  It works for the most part, but can't record and
play at the same time very well (skips a little bit).  The biggest problem
for LiveTV appears to be the screen overlays, whenever they fade in or out,
my video and audio skips.

Although, I guess it only works because I have the PVR-250 with the hardware
encoder.  I believe that has a lot to do with it.

  Hi...  I realize it's underpowered, but I thought I should ask about the
feasibility of using a 933 Mhz PIII coppermine cpu with an intel 815e
motherboard with onboard video as a frontend to Myth.  These are available
in several small form factor systems at low cost, and I thought I read
somwhere that that there is XvMC acceleration with the Intel integrated
graphics, so I didn't know if it made that configuration feasible as a
frontend.

  Thanks in advance,
  Mike
