But actually yes, if running them at stock speed (2.66), both are capable of playing killa without dropped frames on Hardy, but none of them are able to reproduce that on Intrepid, even in the case they overclocked to ~3Ghz.
Again, when you start playing with your new board (same as mine), please try to follow the guide first, as I asked you. We should be able to make a conclusion at the end on that, along with your stereo problems....
Did some testing today preparing to move to new hardware - system is backing up right now. Dropped CPU to 2.66ghz STOCK and saw NO dropped frames, seems althekiller was right about improvements! In fact CPU usage never went much about 60%. Oddly CPU usage was about 60% or so when I ran it at 8x380mhz. <shrug> New board and CPU cannot go in until the backup is done and I will attempt to test with the SAME disk load for Hardy. If it boots and runs I will check it at stock speed on the new CPU (2.66ghz 45nm) and then load up Intrepid. Olympia I will try to find the guide and follow it, if I run into issues I'll just image the other box and move it over
Working stereo sound though would be critical on this box <sigh> I want to image the other box anyway just in case some whacky update comes down and dorks it's performance before we get this solved!
BTW SVN on my box was coming up as 16836m and claimed to have been last compiled on the 2nd even though I compiled last night before bed
EDIT: Olympia, is that tutorial you are talking about using XBMCLive? Isn't Live! based on Hardy?
