(Editor’s note: More gentoo MythTV installation notes… don’t expect order here, for that, see my wiki…)

OK, all my gear has arrived, I sent back the bad CPU and motherboard and got replacements, everything is humming (very quietly I might add! what a sweet case…), and I’m ready for the final (ha!) gentoo Media Center install.

I’m using this gear:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Manchester 2.0GHz Socket 939
MSI K8NGM2-FID
NForce 430
GeForce 6150
8 channel HD audio codec RealTek ALC880 (INTEL)
