Currently have MythTV running. However when I try play Matroska video files the video is behind the audio. And is visibly struggling. Now these are the relevant bits:

P4 2.66GHz 1GB RAM
nVidia 7800GS AGP

Assuming I could get a PCI-E motherboard that supports the processor, would upgrading the videocard to a more modernish one (eg a 9600GT) improve the playback situation or is the processor the bad boy in this story?
