Hi

I am new to this pvr community and i want to build my own. All i want to do it build a pvr for pvr use only. I found this guy selling an old computer with these specs. Can I buy this old system and put a video card and hauppauge pvr 150 in it and run GB Pvr and be set? Is this processor enough to run this function? Thanks in advance to all that help.

Here are the specs of the computer i found.
- Pentium III 850 processor
- 512MB of PC100 ECC ram
- 4.1 sound card
- 2 empty PCI slots (i will add pvr 150 and an video card)
- all this is included in a computer case which i will just use as the case for the pvr

THANKS!

yes, it is enough for a pvr-only machine. if you look at my specs, you will see that they are equally low.

i have 3 tv cards and i can record three shows at the same time without problem (or record two and watch live tv, etc etc.).

however, if i watch live tv and e.g. start the tv guide the live tv sometimes stutters a little for half a second.
AMD 1600mHz, 512 M RAM, 20+160 GB drive, Hauppauge PVR-350 + PVR-150 + PVR-150MCE, Win XP Pro SP3, using software decoding.


There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
