| Post subject: | EPIA system not enough ?? |
Hi everyone !!! I'm trying to set up an EPIA to use with KnoppMyth. The model is the following: http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/mainb ... oard_id=21 The CPU runs at 533Mhz and memory is 256MB. It also has a 40GB HD. I've installed KnoppMyth on "auto" mode and tried to watch my media collection. Result is that DivX goes quite well, but when i play original DVDs, there are many "jumps" in the movie and i even got a message saying that the number of dropped frames was too high. I intend to use my system, first as a DivX/DVD/VCD/MP3 player, but in the future my aim is to watch/record DVB-T. Question is: is my hardware enough for the task ??? Wich tweaks should i make to Knoppix in order to watch everything correctly ??? Any given help will be truyly appreciated. Thanks in advance !!!!!! |

Not sure if it will make a big difference, but the OpenChrome drivers might help: http://www.openchrome.org/ |

I run a MII12000. I *need* to offload MPEG decoding to the CLE266 chipset, so I am sure you do too. Interestingly, your board looks to be one of the older, original EPIAs and provides a PLE133 northbridge - which is not listed as compatible with OpenChrome and (I think) Unichrome. [b]Question:[/b] what is the relationship between OpenChrome [url]www.openchrome.org[/url] and Unichrome [url]http://unichrome.sourceforge.net/[/url]? A few versions of KM+unichrome ago, I used to see << 20% CPU during playback. Now I see more, I dont know why. But it does mean its going to be a close run thing for you. I know that there are other people who run the eden chipset, but none on such an old mobo. Good luck. |
