Hi,

I have Semperon 2200 cpu and 768Mb ram.

I am thinking of getting one of the above, Twinhan Magicbox or Alpha,
for PVR us, but i beleive these are software based decoding, so put
more strain on CPU?

Some cards i believe are hardware decoded, is there any difference in
CPU processing?

Would i be able to pause live tv with the above?


Any ideas suggestions, as to what they are like in general use? or
what you are using?



Regards


Gary
