yeah that is what I heard and it made me glad to know it will do remote processing power before it gets on the computer. I am assuming the preview screen on the computer of what is being captured will use very little cpu like a movie player would? I have duo cores on my desktop and the same with my newer laptop. I may find my newer laptop can stream better than my older desktop. It depends on how much the graphics card plays a role in processing / streaming which I don't think it does. Seems to be just CPU intensive. |

Dual core cpu could get bogged down if it was doing all of the video encoding (as it does with the Dazzle products) but with a hardware encoder (like on the Hauppauge cards) most of the work is done by the card and CPU usage should be minimal. Several years ago I had a Hauppauge PVR 150 running on a MythTv box (linux) with only an 800mhz processor and it ran just fine. |

that is awesome, it sounds like I could even run this on my laptop. The only real difference between my laptop and desktop is my desktop has a nice nvidia card that is 1Gb while my laptop has a much lesser one. I am not sure how much 32 vs 64 bit will play a role. My laptop is Windows 7 64 bit with 4GB of ram and 2 cores and my desktop is 2 cores 32 bit Vista with 4GB of ram. I plan much later this year to build a new computer, by then I could stream insane processing amounts if I wanted but for now what I have tested while running a movie player (to simulate the effects of the capture device) I was not losing too many frame on the stream and quality was great. Even in full screen on justin tv things were not bad quality which is good. |

N7R if you are looking for a really cheap quad core CPU, check this out. AMD |

That's a nice price, but it's an older AM2+ chip, only 2.5ghz per core, and will only work with DDR2 ram. For just a little more, you can pick up something in the 3+Ghz per core, AM3, and will have a DDR3 controller for RAM... something like This is you are okay with 2.8GHz per core or this is the chip I have in my setup |

I was aiming for cheap, not performance. |

Roger that. Could be a very solid upgrade for someone too. |

Nice, some of the i7 stuff looks sick. I've just always gotten a better 'bang for the buck' out of AMD parts. What graphics card(s) are you looking at? |

If you get i7, get the 980X extreme 6 core. Or dont get i7 at all. |
