right gota go to bed soon after slaving over my new mythtv box project i have restarted now i have moved and have no channels what so ever!!!!
now my mum in law (love her to bits) has given me as a present a 785G asus mboard by looking at the box for features. bad idea as the drivers need a hella a lot of work before this can start doing good playback let alone HD or bluray.
so to bridge this gap im gonna have to get a pci E card to go into the media centre with enough grunt to negate the driver issue. my requirements are:-
1) wanna stay open source driver if possible, after all xvba on catalyst is still a joke. also X just starts so much quicker and nicer on KMS
2) wanna stay HD 4000 series as the 5000 are still not in a good support state (please correct me if im wrong),and the r600g/mesa classic are just going to get better over time, i wont be playing new games on this pc, just blu ray in time....
3) would like it to be cheap as possible although a native hdmi is worth paying extra.
so as i see it, no point going over a hd4670 and no point dropping to 320 streams to 80! (i think the igp has 40 hence the issue) and ending up with a cheap waste of money
sooooo, will a HD 4650 hit the spot????
