Hello,
I just upgraded my computer to an overclocked xp2200 running at 2ghz to a p4 3.0E ghz and am not very impressed yet. The main reason I upgraded was the desire for faster encoding times. If there is a difference it's not very noticable. The one thing I am noticing though is the cpu is only running at around 70-75% during the encoding, whre the xp2200 ran at 100%. I tried chaning the priority to realtime but still 75% - what gives? I suspect it has something to do with the hyperthreading but I clicked on affinity and unchecked one of the cpu's with no help. Do I have some drivers installed incorrectly? I installed and reinstalled the 4in1 drivers as the board is a via Abit. Could it be that the cpu is slowing down to keep it from overheating? It runs at around 41 at idle but goes all the way to 55 during encoding. I am using the fan that came with it.
Also, I thought I might be able to capture in divx at 640x480 in divx running at 3ghz, Noop, drops frames just like before! I can capture in 480x480 but not anything higher in divx or xvid. Also, I installed dr divx 1.06 and when trying to capture with the hauppage wintv card (no encoder) it plays audio when I first click on audio and then stops even when I select linein. It works fine with composite but not with TVtuner. I suspect it might be an incompatibilty with the card as all other capture progs work fine.
