    Plz, Help me pick a PCI GPU (with VDPAU, for future MythTV release)

    Thanks for the help w1retap, Is it worth the wait for the 9400GT (that you mentioned) to come back-in-stock, or will I be able to get by with the Sparkle 8400gs w/ 512MB? Also I find it odd, but the MythTV wiki [supported cards] doesn't like the 9400GT as a supported card for VDPAU ??? I...

    Wierd memtest results, are my sticks bad or not?

    cyclone3d, I didn't notice it until after I posted this thread, but according to my last memtest run my clock settings have been reset to default (FSB from 370 to 266) this probably explains why the memory "seems" to be working, I am going to reset the OC settings and report back my findings...
