Processor wise your fine with the P4 I'm guessing. I can't comment on your
video card, I have an NVidia.
I have an AMD XP 2000 underclocked with 512MB RAM.
cat /proc/cpuinfo shows that it's running at 1244.719 MHz
I have 3 PVR 250's and playback of a 5MB/s stream takes up 30% cpu with the
deinterlacing filter. Recording takes 0% CPU practically.
