Subject: [mythtv] Some hardware questions
I am putting together a new myth tv box...can you advise me on some =
hardware?
motherboard, cpu, and ram: ECS K7S5A-2 with AMD Athlon XP 1800+ =
(1.53Ghz) 266FSB CPU, with 128MB of PC100 ram.=20
video card: geforce2 MX w/ tv-out
harddisk: 80GB IBM 7200rpm
question is: Should I spring for DDR ram? Will it be needed versus =
the PC100? Will the geforce2 MX be sufficient? It will handle the Xv =
extension with nvidia's binary driver. Any suggestions for hardware =
beyond this?
thanks!
Chris
