[mythtv-users] your thoughts about this Jetway hardware

[Udo van den Heuvel]

Hello,

As you all know I currently run my MythTV 0.21.20080304-1 (FE & BE) on
an Epia EN12000 board, with 1TB disk, a Terratec PCI DVB-T card and
Fedora 12. It records 3 channels 24/7 off of one multiplex.


I was thinking about moving towards a Jetway NC81-lf with AMD Athlon II
X2 235e "Regor" @ 2700 Mhz, the same PCI DVB-T card and some memory.

Can anybody here say it that would be enough to do the same job as the
EN12000 currently does? Would playing SDTV recordings work well without
XvMC? (my AMD 9550 copes well, but what about this one?)
Could this new setup run valgrind and the backend at the same time
without much issue? (yes, to fix that memory leak bug if it is still
there in 0.22)

Any constructive comments are welcome.


Udo


PS: What about quietly cooling the CPU? Combined with a lian-li PC-Q07 ?
