Definitely crossed wires. Both my HD capture systems are dual PIII boxes, one 
with dual 500s, one with dual 600s (all hooked to 1.5TB of storage). My HD 
playback frontend is an Athlon XP 3200, 512MB of RAM and a GF FX 5200.

The Air2PC reportedly handles weak broadcast HD signals better than the pcHDTV 
card.
