Thanks guys for all your help. It sounds like my card should be fine base on what I am hearing. I'll get some more detail on my problems that I'm seeing and post them tonight to see if you have some advice.<br><br>
In the meantime, and to help me gather some data, I have two frontends that I would like to compare. Is there a way to do a select from the mysql db to see the playback settings for each?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Are the savings from using Semprons really worthwhile?<br>

You can buy Athlon64s for under $30, how much cheaper do you want?</blockquote></div><br><br></div>At that point, it's more about power usage. I wasn't aware the single core 64s were that cheap these days though. :) I haven't even looked at single core procs in a while now. They just didn't have much use to me, but if I can add a cheap video card or get a mobo with the right chipset, now I can use them. <br>
