So i was thinking that it was about time to take on this project that ive been thinking about for a few months (building a HTPC). At first i was going to build a cool shuttle pc with an intel core 2 duo and 1tb of space....till i realized that i didnt have the funds =p. But what i do have is an older p4 machine. The specs are this:
Intel Pentium 4 2.4ghz
512mb memory
60gb hd (have a spare 60 and 120 id add in there)
Intel motherboard
Nvidia 5500gt 128mb graphics card
Normally id think that these specs were really low, but im not gonna be using no fancy Vista with this, im gonna be using a mythv linux variant (mythbuntu or knoppmyth). So do you guys think that this will be able to record a show while i watch live tv, and also be able to record 2 shows at once (it will have 2 tv cards in it....still not sure which ones though)?
Thanks
