A couple of months ago on the temporary site, I posted a request for motherboards etc to build a DV 500 system. I had one reply from which I did some research and built a system using the following config:
AsusP3V4X mobo
Intel PIII 667 chip
256Mb 133 Dram
G400 d/h 32 Mb graphics card
Soundblaster platinum sound card
DV500 card
2 30GB Maxtor 5400 udma66 harddrives (the video drive reading and writing at 24Mb/s)
Cd rewriter from previous system.
The system to date has been stable and reliable after intitial traumas caused by both generic memory chips being faulty (these were replaced by the company)
Thanks to the person who sent me along this route (I have no way of getting to the reply to the original message), and thanks to all those who regularly contribute to this web site. You help make it the best around for this hobby of ours.
