Have got all of them working fine apart from the black gold card mainly due to drivers issue.

Curently i am using the dvb viewer beta 3_4_12 which is working pretty well. At work on Rathbone Place we have a lot of dell 650 workstations and this realease allow mulpi cpu support without blue screening them. It also seem to help. The graphic card both at home (9700 pro) and work (various Quadro and Quadro FX) arent modern enough to have h 264 support.

Here at home i have mildy overclocked a64 3500 and am trying to work out wether to go for a dual core cpu or a gfx card. My system ( home built) was too early to have PCI-e so from what i read I need to go PCIe to get pure video support? Or do the 6600 GT work as well. This to me seem like a problem that a gfx card would probably be more useful at than more cpu power.

What are people opinions?

Best Regards,

Phil
