That's more horsepower than I've got and mine runs just fine. Yours should work well.

It depends on what you are doing.

The machine below usually has no problems. Yet, I can make Beyond TV have problems at will.

I would suggest a dual processor CPU.

Just curious... how?

I'm running BTV on far lesser hardware than you list, on a machine that does all sorts of other HTPC related tasks, with no problems at all. Sure, it's not as fast at showsqueezing or other such tasks as a faster machine, but BTV is rock stable.

How about this:

I am currently watching a Showsqueezed movie in Beyond TV.

The audio/video are out of sync. The sync problem was caused by pausing/fast forwarding using Firefly.

If I close the Viewscape, open the viewscape, and restart the movie, sync is restored.

I can cause this problem on 3 different machines (different hardware).

George, you could cause problems on any machine. It's a special talent of yours

Strange. No such problems here. And at any rate, I don't believe that's an issue that would be resolved by a faster processor.

The stats posted by the original poster should make for a great BTV system.

that should be fine, i just upgraded my motherboard and processor this week and i've been very impressed, c2d e4300 1.8ghz oc'd to 2.66ghz on an asrock 775dual vsta motherboard...everything else ported over from my old p4 3.0ghz HT, the other morning, I showed squeezed 2 files and watched live tv w/o a hitch...just bought a new sata drive last night, slapped it in and installed windows xp in like 20-25 mins...now i just need a new video card and i'm good, anyone know where i can get the Gecube x1950pro 512mb version?
