[mythtv-users] More crashing when watching live or recorded tv (Increase prebuffer?)

[Randy Power Schnedler]

Hi Isaac,

I am having a similar problem on my dedicated backend with a PVR-250.  It's 
running on a P2-400MHz, an old IBM box with this chipset:

	PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 440BX/ZX/DX - 82443BX/ZX/DX AGP bridge (rev 03)

Should I expect this machine to be overwhelmed when the ringbuffer fills up & 
starts looping?  Video is stored on that machine on a 120GB WD drive w/ 8MB 
cache.

Thanks.
