My setup:
Mandrake Cooker - 2.4.19
RAM: 512M 266MHz Registered
Video: nVidia TNT2 AGP (old)
Disk: 5400 RPM IDE ATA-66 (slow)
TV: Hauppage WinTV PCI (old)
Asus A7M266-D MB with 2 Athlon 1700+ XP

Watched, paused, etc. while never going above 35% of a single CPU.  Also
had KDE, Mozilla, and a kernel build going on at the same time.  No
glitches at all, even full screen.


TTFN, 
Lonnie Borntreger
