[mythtv-users] tuning two-card systems ?

[Yan-Fa Li]

Maarten,

have you actually tried running the normal FSB speed of 166 and 
re-testing to prove it's not caused by overclocking PCI ?  Some boards 
let you lock the PCI bus independently at 33 to prevent problems caused 
by overclocking.  Try a "normal" test first and see if the problem goes 
away.  If you reported a problem on the Linux Kernel list with an 
"overclocked" system you would be sent packing in short order, since 
it's effectively a PEBKAC class problem.
