I don't really NEED full HD quality.  I will only be using SVIDEO
output through an NVIDIA MX4000.
I am just hoping to avoid the digital-->analog-->digital conversions
by just using the firewire.

Is it possible to record with firewire... but perhaps not capture at
full HD quality?  If so, maybe I can get away with less than 3Ghz?  It
seems like the price breaks are currently just bellow that.
