Ben,

I have an ECS P4M800Pro-M.  It was only $50 with a
2.53 GHz Celeron D on a Fry's mobo special.  I figured
it would be fast enough with XvMC acceleration to be
dedicated to HD-PVR duty.  Thanks for the tip, but it
doesn't seem to solve my stuttering--even when I
install a faster 3.2GHz / 2M P4.  Maybe I'll stumble
upon some magic configuration and combination of
settings one day.

Thanks,
Cal
