I have not realy tried timeshifting, but I have a Duron :) It's a 700, on an Asus A7V-board, and the tv-card is the FlyVideo3K. Capturing (directly to msmpeg4 for example) works perfectly for VCD-resolutions (352x288). Higher gets problematic and soon frames get dropped. Playing back such a file with mplayer while capturing is no problem either. But since mplayer doesn't play past the end of the file as it where when it startet playing I won't call that timeshifting yet. So, if you don't need hires then your prospective machine will do the job just fine, that's for sure. All the best, rob PS: I'm looking for hints as to how I can capture with the best quality. Size does matter only as far as my memory/disk-bandwidth is concerned. How do you guys capture video, if you want to do the compression later?
