[mythtv-users] Re:Mobo options?

I can only comment on the Chaintech and the old MSI
micro-ATX that Jarod ran.

Yes, on the Chaintech you can install both an AGP card
and up to three PCI cards all at once.

I would like to add, if my system was so specialized I
would have never gone the Chaintech option as it
lacked so many features I would find on many other
machines such as firewire, USB headers, etc. Also, the
IDE headers are WAAAAY on the far corner of the mb
which is a stretch for my devices house in a
Coolermaster 620 case. Also, network support doesn't
work right out of the box with RH9 so there are a few
additional steps to getting your Myth box working.

With that said, I do like the 3 slots of RAM and built
in video. Also, support for a faster processor is a
plus. So far, it runs fairly stable. Once again
though, if I were to build a gaming/workstation type
machine, I would probably pass on this one. For my
Myth box it works fine for me.
