What CPU are you using in your primary BTV system
I am looking to see just what most BTV user have in there primary system. I know that some people use multiple BTV/Link PC's but I am most interested in the PC that you use to watch BTV on.

I am sure there are some AMD Durons out there too. I just didnt list them. My main interest is to see how bleeding edge most regular users equipment is.
I would like to do a poll of video cards too but I am just not as up to date on all the cards especialy from ATI.

Re: What CPU are you using in your primary BTV system
I'm using a Duron 900 with two hardware capture cards. I'm using a slow processor to keep the heat and power down, I can record two shows while watching another with no problem.

Dual Xeon 2.8GHz with 2 GB ram, single PVR-MCE-500 as BTV server.
BTVLink is a Latitude 610 2GHz for now, when we move later this year a proper HTPC will be build in its place.

Re: What CPU are you using in your primary BTV system
Just upgraded from A64 3200+ to A64 X2 4800+ in order to speed up Xvid conversions. Dual-core is definitely the future.
