Hello all<div><br></div><div>Just trying to get some advice on my mythbuntu box specs. I jsut upgraded to a HD-PVR and the only resolutions I can grab well (watching live tv, haven't tried recording yet) are 480i and 480p. At 720p is stutters every second about 8 times and then is fine for about 2 mins before doing it again. At 1080i it distorts the picture every 2 seconds. I figure my box is under spec for handling this data but I wanted advice on WHAT to upgrade to meet spec for this type of processing. Here are my current specs:</div>
<div><br></div><div>Asus M2N68-VM with onboard graphics <a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131355">http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131355</a></div><div>4GB DDR2 800</div>
<div>AMd Athlon 64x2 2.6Ghz. </div><div>1GB sata2 HD.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm considering either upgrading the CPU to maybe a Phenom II 940 and/or getting a basic nvidia graphics card with hdmi output and hardware encoding handle the load but I'm not sure what would have the most effect.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Any advice would be appreciated.</div><div><br></div><div>thanks</div><div>Brendan</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
