Dual core and "Core 2" are not the same. I have a Pentium Dual-Core in my BTV machine as you can see from my sig.

I'm not overly fond of laptops as BTV servers (mainly from overheating), but those specs look like it should be able to handle the HD-PVR...as long as you make sure you are using the Arcsoft Decoder for your h.264. It comes with Total Media Extreme (TME) that came on your drivers disc.

Your machine is more than powerful enough. Likely overkill.
