<div dir="ltr">I think that is what I bought :-) I am broke right now so I didn't get anything super robust.. My computer is a AMD athlon 2 3.0Ghz dual core 4 gig DDR3 1333 64gb SSD ext4 for OS and 2 TB WD red JFS for video. I originally had a HP Proliant M350 with kubuntu 12.04 with mythbackend only, and a 2 gig DDR2 800 intel 2.5ghz something cheapy frontend with mythbuntu 12.04... The main reason for the switch is because I'm pulling that server to use as a LAMP server instead of a mythtv personal server.. So I hope I have enough computer to run a frontend/backend setup.. I think it will be just fine, but I had this snag getting the TV signal to display.. I was so excited when mythbackend worked, and mythfrontend worked, and then this.. Oh well I'm sure I'll figure it out. I've just had several more important projects skip ahead of this one so I haven't had a chance to install the new video card and test it out.<div>

That is good to know. Another side note is that on this centos machine I had a ATI video card, after reading several posts about ATI not playing well with linux I purchased a Nvidia card to replace it. A lot of people smarter than me said that nvidia cards just work a lot better with linux, so I figured I would try that.. I must be missing something stupid, which is usually how it goes. Thanks for the feedback, I really want to make this work on centos... Nothing against any other distro, I just decided since redhat is so stable, and centos is almost identical that it would make a good rock solid foundation.<br>

The one real plus to CentOS besides the redhat stability (which really, Fedora is a toss up because it's a testing ground. And that's ok. Because users are told that up front) is the long term support.<br>
<br>
That's a fabulous thing.<br>
<br>
Anyway - I used a whimpy GT220 or somesuch on mine -- but I don't ever use it for video. I watch from LinHES dedicated frontEnds.<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
