<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does anyone have any comments on which would be a better setup?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dual Celeron 366 (or 2 x 500 if I overclock - it is 99% stable)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>nVidia TNT2 32MB AGP</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>or</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Single Pentium III 1.26 (512KB cache)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>ATI All in Wonder Radeon 7500 64MB AGP</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Both setups would have 512MB of RAM, a Hauppauge PVR 250, and 7200RPM 8MB cache disk(s)...I'm just trying to decide between two workstations that I have available to me. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I realize on paper the Pentium III system looks better, but from what I've read the ATI AIW cards are not fully supported by MythTV (although some have it working). Also, perhaps the PIII system is overkill since the Hauppauge PVR 250's hardware encoder will significantly reduce CPU overhead.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks in advance!</FONT></DIV>
