Agree with Wayne on this one. My video editing machine is NOT the most powerful on my lan, only an Athlon XP1800+, but since it's dedicated to video editing, I can set the transcode to run overnight and it's done once I wake up. And while it's working, I can get my normal work done on my main workstation. Much more efficient use of my time. Even if the video editing machine was say a 3ghz Athlon 64, it still makes more sense to not have my regular work interrupted. > There are just certain apps & things that we can do with them that > can bring a machine to it's knees no matter how much ram we have.

That's what cards like the Hauppauge PVR-150 are great for. -- Harondel J. Sibble Sibble Computer Consulting Creating solutions for the small business and home computer user.
