Well, even with the KT133 chipset, I needed this for being able to *just view* progs live on the ARD transponder: setpci -s 00:00.0 latency_timer=0 I haven't tested the MVP3 w/o above, but I guess this is no better. > Eventually I gave up and switched to a mainboard with a BX chipset.

I also have some Intel TX chips lying around, but I guess CPU (~166MHz) isn't strong enough. :-/ Well, thanx for sharing your experiences.
