Thanks guys, the CPU I have is unfortunately not at the top end of your list. It is an XP2500. I will probably get myself a second hard drive but money is getting tight so it might have to wait. I don,t HAVE to get a VIVO card. It just seemed like a decent all in one solution for me.
I suppose thats what these forums are for Is,nt it, to educate and help you make informed choices. I,ve been to a computer fair today and they are selling TV cards capable of capturing video for £50, are they rubbish?
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
