I had such a solution with two DVB-C cards. But if you want crunch and muscle, VIA is definitely not the way to go. For Intel side I can share you the information that E4*-series is better in the way that they allow you to use multiplier 6, which results with standard fsb to 1200MHz when idling. For example E6300 will idle at 1600 MHz. But you should also take care when choosing the motherboard, because undervolting is the most efficient way to reduce heat and some mobos (namely all Asrocks) do not allow undervolting. -Petri _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
