Hi all,
I use successfully my knoppmyth r4v2 with my hardware... after some problems, now all works well:

- P3 800 coppermine
- P6PRo Mainboard (i suppose it's a BX...)
- 256MB RAM DIMM
- GeForce 440MX SE 8X
- Leadtek WinFast TV2000XP Deluxe

Now I have the possibility to upgrade mainboard and CPU with an:

- AMD Athlon TB 1100 Mhz
- ECS K7S5A
- 256MB RAM DDR

I have to say that actually i cannot watch live tv well... i have set 352x288 resolution in LIVE TV software encoders (P3 800 can't encode and decode in realtime Live TV with 480x480.... when i set up a schedule, 480x480 rtjpeg works well); and when i try to record from tv by MPEG4 encoder, my videos are choppy...
For you, will this upgrade improve my performance? Sould i spend this money (about 40€), to obtain a best hardware or are they nearly the same thing?

Thank You

1. As root: mythbackup(You'll want to check your db for errors before running this)
2. Pull hard drive(and whatever hardware from old system)
3. Install in to new system.
4. Auto Upgrade

OK. i've upgraded...
Now my question is: I tried to use Auto Upgrade option in the cdrom installation, and this showed me: "Attention: this will destroy your data in hda..." etc....
Will i lose my video/music/image?
Will my settings be restored after?
Do i have to recompile myth for lirc and LCDproc support?

Although i don't know why don't i have to reinstall all and try R4V3....

if you use autoupgrade it destroys all data on /dev/hda1 which is the sytem drive/partition. the data drive/partition (/dev/hda4 using knoppmyth default install) remains unchanged.
