So... if you have the lates and greatest 1.0+ chip with DDR/RDRAM along with the highest quality components, which will allow you to produce the best quality video MPEG2/4:
Hardware coder OR s/w coder?
I seem to recall that during my reading up on this subject there have been many references that state if you have enough CPU ability that software coding will produce better quality due to most "affordable" hobbiest hardware coder equiped style boards tend to have marginal hardware coders.
I am just soliciting for opinions prior to building my multimedia system. Will most likely go with Athalon 1.2/3 266fsb / DDR / ASUS or MSI. Please be free flowing with your ideas... not only opinions on board choices and sytem components/setup. Would love to hear what works for you
Cheers,
Debs
