Hi,

I have a couple options for hardware to run myth and would like some of the
gurus to show me the way.  I'm mainly concerned with ease of driver install and
video quality.

Choices are:

machine 1:
socket 754 sempron 2800+
either a foxconn  761GXK8MC-RS  SIS based board or a asus nf3 based board.  Both
have the same onboard realtek alc653 5.1 audio
ati 9800 pro agp
512mb ram
120gb  seagate pata drive
nec 16x dvdrw

machine 2:
amd 3500+ socket 939
foxconn 6150K8MA-8EKRS w/onboard alc850 sound
asus 6200 pci-x video with dvi out
512mb ram
120gb  seagate pata drive
nec 16x dvdrw

I started out with a different hardware config on fedora core 5 and had driver
issues so I'm starting from scratch.

Thanks for any help.
Dean.
