[mythtv-users] Re: CLE266 Recommendations

[martin north]

I have the Via EPIA-M6000. 

This is the lowest powered motherboard of the EPIA-M range (600Mhz CPU). My 
reasons for choosing this was that it has a passively cooled CPU which keeps 
things very quiet. I'm still building my mythtv so I dont have any results 
as to how good it will be, but if i can get the CLE266 running then it 
should be powerfull enough to do anything MPEG2 related. 

If you want to do any MPGE4/Divx then you want to use the M9000 or M10000 
with the more powerful CPU's - which need a small fan to cool them. 

For reference, I have had my system running successfully with VDR - without 
using the CLE266. It is fine for livetv, but struggles with recording and 
channel changing.
