Reading lots and lots, I have to stop and ask.
I'm close to decided on a mobo, and processor.
I'm to the video cards, and am really confused. It sounds like I need 10 cards
, well, slight exaggeration. Hoping I can get some of this cleared up.
I've read real good things about the Sigma Designs xCard for low CPU processing, and excellent picture. (But better to push sound through the amp...I'm OK with this.) As I don't yet have a progressive DVD, sounds good to me. Check off card 1.
Now, I understand to get PVR capabilities, I need something like the Haupauge PVR card (250-350). Check off card 2.
Now it seems I need a video card. I haven't decided much on that yet. See lots of comments on driver problems with Radeons, need to do more studying. Check off card 3.
I would like to record one thing while watching another. Need a second PVR card? Check off card 4
I would like to get HD Tuner card. Check off card 5.
Wow. Am I nuts? Can all this be hooked up? (Wheh)
OH...and have been reading about dScaler. Maybe that should be another thread. I started to look into that, and that's when I decided my head was about to explode.
Thanks
Roger
