It might be the old motherboard and chipset. If they don’t have good speed they won’t be able to keep up with the bitrate or bandwidth necessary for streaming. Old chipsets weren’t made for it since it wasn’t a thing years ago. Just to name one component, newer PCI express busses are sometimes 10 to 100 times faster than older formats (like PCI-X). For example, PCIe 8 doubles the speed of PCIe 7 that is barely 3 years old, imagine compared to even older versions. This is necessary to keep up with internet modems and the typical speeds and ping times required for game streaming with minimum lag.








OK, now we know the hardware is capable. But there are still many other factors. I theorize it could be a driver. But for that it would be necessary to know distro, kernel version, hardware specs. It could be a kernel module that is not loaded on your distro version or it could be that the driver simply doesn’t exist yet. It could be a configuration problem in moonlight. Explore those venues and report back with more info.
