@ Vhelp
yes, its a decent board good performance 4 the cost, however
the only down side is only a 266MHz FSB then again i got it when
the Athlon xp CPU came out.
Now my question to you, is worth putting a 512 DDR on it since
Tmpeg task can be a bit heavy. n i asume you put in PC2100 because
the board could'nt handle PC2700.

@ ovg64..
No, the sales man told me all you would need is the PC2100 only. It was
the way he told me! But, his prices were too steep, and I walked. a few
week later, I found the same chips at BJ's, but for HALF the price !!
TMPG encoding...
As far as I can tell, there is less HD swapping of video data, because there
is more RAM to stuff and also, less HD SWAP file to play with. But, still..,
the more complicated your scripts and video encoding and also your video
codec used, the harder TMPG has to work, hence your HD activities.
I got the extra ram (NOT for speed, but) for less HD activities in TMPG. I
thought it would help to fill it up as much as possible.
Also, when dealing w/ video editing applications (or even vdub) you have
less hd actitivy going on, because more RAM can be fed data, before it
resorts to HD space.
Also, I want it for the Capturing side. I want to try some experiment w/
changing my SWAP file size and seeing if that will help w/ doing even more
reduction in my Analog capturing of frame drops, cause the more RAM you
have, the less HD actitivy. Mind you, I have TWO ESC K7S5A boards. And,
I drop frames on my XP 1700+ MAIN pc, while on my XP 1800+ 2nd pc,
I drop zero frames (in most cases) and at 720x480 capturing.
So, my main reason for adding more RAM in my case, is for the capturing
w/ lesser frame drop.. plus other reason stated above.
That's it thus far.
