I've got the AMD64 3200+ your looking at in my mythbox and at
1920x1080i I get around 60-80% cpu usage depending on the channel I
tune. 720p material is about 50-70%. I don't get any
stuttering of HDTV unless I use timestretch or if I mess with the OSD a
lot... this is with deinterlacing on (any version of it, bob, kernel,
etc.). I am using freq scaling to downclock the CPU to 1k when
I'm not using it as well, it seems to work very well.<br>
<br>
Doing HDTV with the dual-core 3800+ would probably be pretty nice, it'd
probably leave a lot of overhead avaiable for crunching stuff in the
background, which leads me to a question. The dual-core are still
939pin right? Are they swappable with any 939 mobo, or does the
mobo have to support the dual-core chip?<br>

I want to get a CPU in the 939 line for HDTV usage. How fast should I<br>get to make sure everything is handled with some room to spare?<br><br><br>I was going to get this:<br><br>AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Venice 1GHz FSB<br><br>
