I'm pretty new to GBPVR, almost got it configured and working correctly. Looks great.

The PC is a 3.2Ghz dual core 1Gb ram on board graphics.

When watching live TV one of the cores of the processor is running at 100%. The other core is working but not straining. This causes stuttering etc in the playback.

One option would be to get a video card that handles the H.264 well, hopefully reducing the load on the cpu.

I'm not into games and have never needed anything other than on board graphics.

Any suggestions on a card?

What are the minimum specs for a GBPVR server that would be used to record and serve up recordings to a say 2 clients.

you need the video card on the machine you are going to be watching it on
either a 8500 nvidia or or 2600ati
recording on the server doesnt need much cpu or anything really for recording it just saving the stream to the harddrive
watching h264 is another storey thats what needs the grunt
