<p class=MsoNormal>Hey thanks a ton for the pointers! <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Per Kevin’s suggestion, I’ll get one of the
newer cards. Is there anything to recommend the 2xxx cards over the 8xxx or
9xxx? I know most of these things are intended for 3d gaming so I don’t
want to pay a lot for capability I’m never going to use.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> I did the 3 gHz because the wiki writeup said you need 3gHz
to handle HD playback, and dual core because I plan to run front/back on the
same machine and I don’t want to get into problems if I record an HD
stream at the same time I’m playing one.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Per Brian’s suggestion, I’ll get a separate drive
for the OS/Software.<o:p></o:p></p>
