[mythtv-users] A8N-VM CSM success

[Ernie Lim]

I went with the K8NGM2-FID too because of the component output to use with
my older tube hdtv. The motherboard has headers for the component out and
accompanying cable and adapter fit into an empty expansion slot. What I
found was that depending on how the cable for this was routed inside the
computer case, I'd get varying amounts of noise in the signal. Biggest
problem was that I was *never* ever able to get rid of it to my
satisfaction.

In despair, I shelled out the 50 dollars for a dvi to hdmi cable and haven't
looked back since. The picture is crystal clear compared to the component
out and I also tend to think that the newer nvidia drivers treat the
component outputs like the tv-out, giving you less control over the
modelines -- or something to that effect :-)

All in all, im very happy with this motherboard. I have the older bios
version that has buggy acpi and haven't had the motivation to update it yet
-- Its been reported as fixed.
