I noticed that watching live TV uses 95-100% CPU time using mpeg4
encoding at 640 X 480. My system is an Athlon XP 1800 with 256M PC 2100
ram. Running hdparm tells me that my hard drive throughput is about 23
Mb / sec. Is this performance about what I should expect? If so, what
would be the best way to increase performance, more memory, faster
processor or faster hard drive?

Thanks.
