I have a C3 with an Avery Capture card (49.00 usd) and 64mb nvidia pci card
(59.00usd). 80 gb hd 1 gig sdram The best I can do is 352x240 (mpeg1) resolution
without dropping frames. I use Cinelerra for recording and NLE
http://www.heroinewarrior.com
and Linuxvideostudio for mpeg encoding. Encoding is s l o w as toast. My
recomendation for basic functionality is P4 1.7ghz min. 1 gig ddr ram 120
gb hd Above mentioned cards. I just bought a P4 1.7 motherboard and cpu
from Frys for 89.00 usd . I love planned obsolesance. Also look at TVtime.
(search this forum for adress) Good Luck

1. Is this machine good enough to be a PVR? I'll add a bigger HD possibly.
It would depend a lot on the chipset. The C3 isnt that hot at FPU or MMX
and the cheap boards also tend to use SDRAM not DDR and onboard video.
That doesnt make a good video encoder
