OK i've ordered my AMD xp2500 mobile and plan to fit it into my shuttle SN45g. Once fitted into the mount and attached the cooler (with some super artic 5) I will be ready to start the machine...my question (sorry if this sounds stupid but I am new to this):- Having previously had an AMD...

Come on guys, somebody must have some answers (or opinions!).

Hi Virge, heres a link to what I was talking about: http://www.gta-ltd.co.uk/ 1. Does the DVB (digital) means that you can only record/view digital signals (via cable or dish?), and cannot receive/record analogue?.... 2. Is this the way the technology will begoing in the future so am I...

Thanks Tweeve, so if I bought the pvr250 it doesnt mean that I couldnt have satellite....I would just need the box right? Also if I was able to get the ms mce software I could get an rf remote to control everything right? So a few other questions:- The pvr250 comes in two flavours (that...

Hi Folks, done a bit more reading and I now appreciate how useful a hardware encoder is. Some more questions:- 1. The pvr cards come in several flavours i.e. pcr?, mce, t-nova? etc what is basically the difference? 2. I understand that the pvr 250/350 can accept analogue and cable but NOT...

Oh a 3rd question, I've noticed several models come in either analogue or digital...whats the difference? Also anybody heard of a GTA Black Gold card?,,,and what do you think of them?

Thanks Virge for taking the trouble to give a very clear/thorough reply, I understood everything (amazing!). O.K another 2 questions: 1. I found a website with a review of the two card types (dumb/clever+non-encoder/encoder) at www.aardvark.co.nz/pvr and they state that although encoders give...

Whooh, hold on a moment, what have I started here? Thanks for your replies, but I have 4 further questions (greedy I know but you all seem so keen!). 1. Somebody has mentioned that the Hauppage DV250 is better than the leadtek tv2000 (although it is twice the price!) as it has a mpeg...

Hi All, planning to buy a tv tuner card for my Shuttle (sn45g, nforce 2 board) to make it into a semi-mobile self contained home entertainment system whilst I work abroad, and am looking for recommendations. The leadtek tv2000 always seems to get good reviews/comments but it appears to have...

Hi All, Thinking of buying a dual layer dvd, as the price difference between these and standard burners is so little (future-proofing). The models that I have looked at are the Lite on 326? NEC 2010 LG Anybody have any thoughts on the quality of these (especially if you have experience...

Hi, I have checked the relevant Shuttle web page (http://www.shuttle.com/hq/support/faq/supportlist2.asp?model=SN45G&vr=SN45G%20(FN45)&page=1) and it appears that the board in my sn45g Shuttle (FN45) will only support a 166mhz xp2500. 1. Am I correct in believing that the mobile...

Thanks for the interesting replies so far. I am in a similar position, I have an sn45g shuttle and plan to put in a processor that 1. Would run cooler (less noise) and 2. That would have overclocking capability. Two further questions:- 1. I understand there is a problem with some of the...
