I switched from GBPVR to XP MCE a while ago, but now that I've got a new HDTV, I'm considering switching back. My issue has to do with my aging hardware. Upgrading the PC really isn't an option right now, because it's too cost prohibitive. My setup right now is a Dell Dimenson 4600 (2.4 GHz P4) with a PVR-150 for capturing analog cable, and the All-in-Wonder 9000 Radeon that came with the PC for output. I've been able to drive the HDTV in 1920x1080 mode with the AIW card.
I'd like to be able to hook up my ATSC antenna to a new Hauppauge card (maybe the 2250) and record OTA HD content. I'm sure that recording won't be an issue, what I'm wondering is whether the P4 is going to be able to keep up with the playback? I've got 768 MBs of RAM in it and it's currently running XP MCE.
I'd love to know if there's a downloadable HD sample file I could test with before committing to the 2250.
Thanks!
