I would suggest staying away from ATI video cards if you get the KT7. ATI does not seem to eager to endorse AMD CPU's. The box of my Radeon All-In-Wonder says a PIII is required. For lack of time, I have yet to try to get Linux running on this box, but Win2K runs very well. Win98 hangs during video capture. BTW, my current project is capturing my laserdisc collection, encoding with MP4 (DivX) and burning to CD-R. I'd appreciate pointers to software (free or not) that will allow me to do this on Linux.
