[QUOTE="Logsyc_, post: 60169, member: 21544"] Hi Callifo, Thanks for that quick answer ! If I get you right, I need XP (which is a bad news as I already payed for 2 licences for my other PCs, and I'd have a useless Win 2K licence :( ...). You recommend a 5200 or a 6200 - do you mean without any TV card ? As far as I know there's no version a VIVO 6200 card so I'll need an card to record the TV anyway... so I must have misunderstood you. Can't I get away with a onboard video (like a GeForce 6100 or 6150, which are decent chipset) and a TV card (which one would do the trick ?) What do you think about the rest of the PC (CPU, RAM, Case/PSU) - I would imagine it's plenty enough seeing you use a Sempron on yours (I though about a sempron at first but seeing that A64 are going down in price due to the imminent release of Conroe CPU, I turned to an 3000+ s939 ). If you say a s754 sempron 2600+ is plenty enough event in the years to come, I might go back to the original idea and use the money for a better TV card... And a sempron would no generate as must heat which is good dB wise :D [/QUOTE]
