> Here are my machine specs:

> AMD Athlon 850
> 400MB of RAM
> Hauppauge PVR-150 MCE edition (model #1062)
> PNY Nvidia FX5200 PCI video card w/256MB of ram (the reason I am using a
> PCI video card is that this old mobo only has a 2x AGP port)
> PCI ethernet card
> PCI sound card (some old yamaha clunker)
> PCI USB2.0 card
> IDE hard drive and CD-RW
