It might be worthwhile to look into hardware compression, you reduce
the requirements (and the noise level) by using a card.
That's a good point, as long as I leave a spare PCI slot for a hardware compression card I think that will do.
If you do pure software compression, the speed of your CPU is one
factor; for good quality (i.e. full 720x480) you'd need at least
1ghz... but it would also help to have a well supported TV card that
doesn't require X like the G400.
So any card that works with the framebuffering driver will do?
(I managed to get an ATI-Page Mobility Pro on my laptop to run Freevo to the tv-out without X, I think on board chipsets with a tv-out generally allow you to switch them on and off in the BIOS)
Thanks Kev
