[mythtv-users] Minimum Memory reqs for Mythfrontend?

[Another Sillyname]

Tom

The exact same machine works fine, stutter free with 4gb in........it
has to be at least memory related.

It's using an nvidia 240 and a quad i7.....plenty of cpu grunt

Not using vdpau, although I may try that tonight.
