Unless you're running PCI64 or PCI-X or PCIe, you're running at 33MHz; Standard PCI hasn't changed much over the years. That 800MHz stuff you were referring to is system memory speed and has absolutely nothing to do with PCI. I'm running my PVR350 in a Shuttle S55 (I think) X-PC. It's got a Celeron 1.8 in it and that's it -- no HDD, it boots and runs off the network. There are people running PVR350s in MUCH lower-end hardware without difficulty so I really doubt it the system. When I play back or record with the thing I'm at 0% CPU usage, which was the entire point of the card. -A. ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
