RE: OT: Motherboards
Again, thanks.
Not what I wanted to hear mind ;-)
Looks like I'll need a _much_ bigger disk set on the client PC, then.

Ah right...
Mental block.
No 10Base-T is not fast enough to play VOBs over the network: 100Mb
Switched
is only just fast enough. When I do this, I get choppy playback. it could
be
that my server can't keep up, but I am not so sure.
The difficult thing is keeping lipsync when you try to convert your VOB
files into Something more compact like DiVx/WMV
I have a copy of "Lost in Space" ripped from my DVD which takes
up only
500Mb compared to the Vobs, which took up 4.3Gb!!! It's a much smaller data
stream to keep smooth over the network.
