[QUOTE="petsa, post: 216927, member: 29962"] I have the Terratec 2400i and I'm not quite sure why you would need a fast CPU. When I watch TV the CPU usage (C2D 2,4GHz) rarely go beyond 15%, except for HDTV (h264) then it would be around 50%. Now I have installed a Nvidia 8600GT which takes care of the decoding in HW and the CPU util is about 1-5% for regular TV and 5-10% for HDTV. Quite cool actually... ;) /Peter PS. I should mention that the card has worked really well. Can only second the comment above about standby issues. I tried the T500 but had some severe issues with S3 standby... [/QUOTE]
