The bulk of analog capture info never gets outdated. However, VIA became less horrible towards ATI in the WinVista generation and beyond. So this warning may not apply depending on how dated your VIA hardware is. Thought noting VIA is still probably the worst component on cheap motherboards, and especially any PCI card (SATA, etc). |
All this was my problem with a windows pc too, you are just too busy with the OS and motherboard, solving problems, thinking about combination of hardware, drivers for it, slow updates for software or firmware, different brands that have the same chipset(s) but which should you take ? the better one, or the cheapest.... subscribtion on virus protection, or free one, your homepage of your browser being changed somehow by installing software, buying software that "cleans" your pc, but still not everything, OS gets slow... until it just locks, i'm not a user that is easily satisfied, and M$ OS can't handle that, i really used the windows M$ for and from a long time, DX2/66 cpu windows 3.10/3.11 installing winsock to get connected to internet,
with windows95 98 updates... all troubles started...... Sorry.... but i now am happy with my MacBook Pro, yes, MAC/Apple isn't perfect too, and you need to know the trapdoors, Linux is an option but you get too many options to choose from, distributions, GUI's, and you spend again a lot of time with the OS itself, and i'm lazy.... just want it to work for me, and not the other way around, Linux might be a lot better now, but i get scared from scripts, or secondary languages..... they are strong though, sorry for being offtopic this way, i found good tools for things i did used on M$, and some even better. |

However, this thread was specifically created, way back in 2005, to address common known issues between VIA and ATI (and ironically AMD, who now owns ATI, and was the only CPU to really use VIA motherboards). Perhaps those issues were addressed after the sale? The timeline does match, though I'm more apt to believe it was coincidence. This post was bumped simply to provide an update, as VIA and ATI tended to behave a wee bit better as time went on, after 2005. |
I guess with all is, the money budget, also to keep up with the tech, hardware gets better and software needs to be upgraded,
or is it the otherway round ? it keeps you busy, and new stuff is very tempting... Apple is: WYSIWYG and cant be changed, on one hand a good thing, the other.... not. |
