I should hope not! A 500Mhz PIII should do DVD res. MPEG-2. 256MB
of RAM helps things along, but you can get by with 128. If you need
to do MPEG-4, something around 900Mhz is probably necesary.
I'd beware of NVidia chipset motherboards. NForce3 and NForce4 audio
capabilities aren't completely supported in Alsa. Especially if you're
thinking about using the SPDIF to do AC3...
Been bitten by this one too. ;)
You are correct. I should have mentioned that. That is one of the
advantages of the ASUS A8N-VM CSM board. While it has onboard audio, the
on board audio is not the audio provided by the NVIDIA chipset.
