I am really new at this; in fact just set it up yesterday. But I am running 650 Mhz P3 with 384 Mb RAM (pc100) and even when i have the commercial skip turned on and record it; the cpu usage shows 2%. This is since I don't watch it while it's recording.
With your 2.4 GHz box, it should definitely work faster. Try a test and see what the cpu usage is by recording something with commercial skip and then pressing escape till you get out of watching tv.
