Currently: Athlon XP 1800 but I've got an Athlon XP 3000 that may make
it's way into that PC. I'm using the onboard video for playback
currently but HD stutters too much to make it watchable.
This pc:
Asus A7N8X-VM/400
1G OCZ Dual DDR Ram
Athlon XP 1800 CPU
PCI IEEE1394 card
DCT-6412 connected via 1394
Thanks,
Norm
My personal experience has been that nvidia cards work better with myth than radeons. A lot of people have had success with Radeons so I don't want to give them a bad reputation. Your onboard video will work with xvmc, which drastically lowers the cpu requirements for hd decoding. I can do it easily on an Athlon XP 2000 with xvmc enabled. You would need to use the nvidia binary drivers though. I recommend sticking with the onboard nvidia stuff.
