This is just a warning, I'm not convinced anyone else will have this problem.
I run Ubuntu 8.04 with the latest kernel (2.6.24-19 as of this post). I just manually updated to the latest Nvidia drivers (173.14.09 as of this post) and noticed something interesting:
After installing the new Nvidia drivers, I loaded the Killa Sampla and noticed that if I have the OSD up (osd that shows how many frames are dropped, bitrate, etc) the clip will drop frames. This shouldn't happen with an Intel E8400 chip.
Sure enough (and I did this 3 times to verify), if I roll back to the Nvidia 169.12 drivers I will not drop any frames with the Killa Sampla. As soon as I upgrade to the new drivers, frames dropped.
This could be considered overly picky, but I thought perhaps someone might be annoyed in the future after they upgrade their Nvidia drivers. I'll be sticking with the trusty 169.12 drivers
