This may be a dumb question, but I can't find anything useful via
Google. I'm running Gentoo on my Ultra5, and am starting to wonder if
maybe I can't turn it into a Myth/DVD/MAME machine (since god knows I
don't do anything else useful with it).
Obvious problems:
Onboard video sucks - thinking maybe an ATI 7500 AIW PCI here?
IDE controller is worse - stream everything over the network, or
install a decent IDE controller in one of the PCI slots and connect
the DVD drive to it.
I've already thrown in a DVD drive, new hard drive and a USB
controller card, just in an effort to make the machine slightly
non-useless.
Is this completely impossible? Any suggestions/pointers? I'd rather
find out now than after I spend the money on a video card I can't
actually use.
Thanks,
Jack
