This may be a dumb question, but I can't find anything useful via |
| 2 |
Google. I'm running Gentoo on my Ultra5, and am starting to wonder if |
| 3 |
maybe I can't turn it into a Myth/DVD/MAME machine (since god knows I |
| 4 |
don't do anything else useful with it). |

Obvious problems: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Onboard video sucks - thinking maybe an ATI 7500 AIW PCI here? |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
IDE controller is worse - stream everything over the network, or |
| 11 |
install a decent IDE controller in one of the PCI slots and connect |
| 12 |
the DVD drive to it. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
I've already thrown in a DVD drive, new hard drive and a USB |
| 15 |
controller card, just in an effort to make the machine slightly |
| 16 |
non-useless. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Is this completely impossible? Any suggestions/pointers? I'd rather |
| 19 |
find out now than after I spend the money on a video card I can't |
| 20 |
actually use. |

Thanks, |
