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). |

6 |
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, |
