| Post subject: | VIA Chip set |
A quick question. After total frustration with ivtv hanging up my pvr250 knoppmyth system, I'm going to scrap my AMD mobo with its VIA KT266 chipset. As far as I know, there is no fix (I even triied using a PCI UltraDMA IDE card, I still got a mythbackend hang). From the mythlog: ":2004-08-30 04:02:49 Couldn't read data from the capture card in 15 seconds. Game over, man." I'm buying a little Intel celeron box (2.4Ghz). It has a VIA VT8235 chipset. My question is: Do all VIA chipsets have a problem with the DMA load of ivtv/mythtv, or is it just the VIA chipsets for AMD CPUs? |

not sure about your question, but I've got one of my own. why get all new mb/processor when you could go get an nforce based mb and keep everything else? |

OK, Just a bit scared--heard nvidia nforce 2 had ivtv problems, via chipset has problems. I'm gunshy Please give me a recommendation for a good AMD microATX mobo... |

As far as I'm aware, the nforce 2 works fine. If you search the forum, you'll see this time and again. My personal recommendation is only on the forum. |

OK, I ordered an nforce 2 MB for my athlon. It even has video out, so I'll have a video card to reuse. If I plan right, I can always have almost enough hardware left over to start yet another linux project--it drives my wife nuts 
I thought I'd read about ivtv having problems with nforce due to ACPI or LAPIC incompatibility--tjough in retrospect, it looks like most of those were relatively old threads. --splash |

The issue was with APIC/LAPIC... This hasn't been an issue since R4V3. What is this wife thing I keep hearing about? |
