I have an Athlon-64 3200+ here and can watch normal tv while the system is completely loaded (playing my favorite online game) without problems. Under Linux, and the tv window is 300x200 small in this case. With a budget card of course (this is my test setup). But I agree, I would not recommend a budget-only solution for a "production" system. --Stefan -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
