Hi Derek During our recent work with Jimmy in Utah we have been using a dual core intel pentium 3.2gig processor and Blackmagic intensity pro capture cards. This has worked well and on a 1 gig network only used 1% bandwidth. Display on the otherhand did prove a problem initially. using a second machine with the same processors and a quad nvidia the display could not keep up with the 4 or so HD streams coming in. The processor was only at 56% usage and network again 1%. It turned out to be the graphics card not capable of displaying everything at once. We have now built a display machine with a Quad core prcessor 4 gig memeory and two dualhead 9600 nvidia cards giving excellent results. Mike
