As said, I try to squeeze as much power as possible out of that ol' crappy 750 i got...


As I said, winamp 2.8 uses about 2-5% cpu time on my AMD K6 II 350. Really, mate don't worry about it  :-D

####e... was it encoding?

well then you are out of luck... but there is some tv-cards which apparently have this function (but for some it probably is just for video, and is it really HW?)
jetway 878m, Askey Magic TV, Pinnacle PCTV Pro all have MPEG encoding/decoding has part of their specs.

i have a creative encore dxr3 hardware mpeg decorder card, its vfor dvd, but it uses no cpu at all, apart from the surround sound, cause the sb5.1 live uses software to decode the ac3 stream

@ bloodline
Just to add.

EMU10K
1. 2,439,711 transistors.
2. 50 Mhz and 100Mhz internal audio clock.
3. 0.35 micron, newer version is at .25 micron
4. 32bit fixed-point and integer operands, 67bit accumulator.

PS; SB Live's specs have been ellipsed by newer APU/DSP chips e.g.  nVidia SoundStorm, VIA Envy and CL SB Audigy II.

Sure the Live! comes with Windoze software to encode MP3's but the card does not do it in hardware!!!
The Live! card is just a bunch of DACs and ADCs with a DSP for adding effects, it's not designed to encode mp3s


even if so, who gives a crap, it can still do it!!!!!
there seems to be enough technology on the card to handle it



Nice hardware. I have one too. Still doesn't make it encode MP3 IN the hardware. ALl the tools is just software, and only a couple of 'em depend upon the Live! card to do their magic. MP3 encoding ain't one of 'em.


Note that AMD’s Athlon can be made to do DSP type jobs, since it has several DSP instructions (not including 3Dnow/SSE instructions). Making the Athlon one of the fastest DSP chip in the market....
