I'm building a new MythTv BE/FE (my first) and would like some input<br>regarding the graphics card. I will be recording ATSC OTA channels from<br>two HD3000 cards, so I'll need to support HD playback. I've seen the<br>
FX5200 based cards recommended often, but I can only find them with an<br>AGP interface. From what I'm told, if I'm going to build a new system,<br>PCI-E is the way to go for the graphics card.</blockquote><div><br>
I would worry more about getting a fanless graphics card than whether it's PCIe or AGP<br>
<br>
I've already put soundproofing in my case to cut hard drive noise. The
noisiest things now are the fans. Last thing I'd want is to add another
fan.<br>
