Ouch. so my thinking that the little skips and pauses when I first
start playback of an HD recording, or when I resume play from a paused
playback of HD are related to the AGPGART are probably vain hope. I
didn't know what could be causing the slowdowns and the couple of
seconds to get the playback going smoothly. It's not a terrible price
to pay, but it is kind of annoying. I had switched to that 6200 Nvidia
card, and hoped that the 3100 Sempron would be more than enough to
smoothly play this content. I am following your guide almost to the
letter Jarod. I don't think I missed any steps anyhow. I'm also setup
suid on mythfrontend, so I figured that might give me a little speed
edge.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 1/19/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Jarod Wilson</b> <<a href="mailto:jarod@wilsonet.com">jarod@wilsonet.com</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
