But when I do buy a PVR card, it will be the best hardware to run F@H.

I ran across this when I was looking for info about the ATI.

My son has been talking to me about NVIDIA. That seems to be his preference when it comes to graphics cards.

I used to implement set top boxes to control closed circuit TVs. Our company chose ATI video chips, and I got to work with the ATI development team closely. Lets just say that ATI driver support, umm ... was really really lousy, no matter how much we paid for custom support.

I have championed NVidia ever since, until I got sucked into F@H. If NVidia produced a card that would speed up F@H as much as the X1900 I would gladly part with the money.

If I had the free bucks I would buy an X1900 for folding and NVidias for general computing.

This PVR page from George MacDonald is from 2001. I will agree with him that ReplayTV is better software than what comes with the PVR cards. He knows his stuff in this area.

I imagine I will be adding Replay software to the box sometime.

Keep in mind - I do not watch over 5 hours per week of TV, usually less. Now that I am following football again it may go up some. My girls watch TV and I am not happy about the mindless mush TV dispenses, but folks I respect say that Tivo will give us back control of the boob tube.

Girls have enough problems growing up today without trying to measure up to the standards of TV babes.
