[mythtv-users] PCChips Geode MoBo?

[Francesco Peeters]

Hi all,

Does anybody have any experience with the 'new' PCChips M863G Geode3600+ 
(Athlon2800+ 'mobile') (v7.1) MoBo?

It looks nice enough for a frontend, although it doesn't have S-Video or 
composite output (Which isn't too much of an issue for PAL TV's with 
SCART), but will it bear the brunt of an added backend?

My main concerns are an apparent lack of S/PDIF (though I may have 
overlooked it <G>) and audio performance as well as how it performs for 
video-playback.
(I am planning - for starters - to have a PVR-150 in there and run both 
frontend and backend on it. I hope to add separate backends in the 
future, and maybe drop the tunercard in this one, although I like the 
idea of it being able to work standalone if needed)

TIA!
