Thanks Tom,
Well I don't have vsync enabled in mythtv anyway, so that isn't the
problem in my case. Nor is UseEevents because that doesn't help either.
Could you please elaborate on what you said about RTC. I read a wiki
which explained the three frame timing methods, but didn't elaborate on
how to change them.  I figured out mine is currently set to usleep on
both PC's.

I'm going to mess around with the PC for a couple of hours today. If I
can't figure out the problem I'll try switching video cards (9600GT with
8800GT)
