Here are my PERSONAL opinions 1Ghz Proc Minimum(of course this is my personal opinion, I've had lag spike issues with less) 256+MB is OK 200GB+ will make you happy
I use the PVR-x50 cards, but try using something more openly supported. As far as remotes go, try using the One-For-All series remotes, and use the IR reciever on the PVR card(if it had one). Once again these are all my opinions, good luck! Don't forget to ask questions here, I never did, but looking through the archives I have found that I was an idiot for not!
