<div dir="ltr">Well I am confused how to proceed. Situation is that my current Myth server is solid but I wish to add another capture card or two and the household may be getting HDTV before year-end. However, I am seeing a lot of newer Hauppauge HD cards are PCIE, and my server mobo ain't got no PCIE. Currenty Myth server specs:<br>
<br>P4 3.4ghz EE (w/HT)<br>1.2gb ram<br>1x320gb sata<br>asus mobo<br><br>She runs fine but we are moving into a new house in a few months and I may have her supporting more than just my desktop pc as the only frontend (to keep this in consideration).<br>
<br>Now I wish to get another capture card, preferrably one that can at least do analog+digital (to "futureproof" for HDTV capture when we get it in the house-- I hope that makes sense), but I'm gonna need a new mobo and likely new processor and ram as well (case/hd/7600gs/PSU are pretty recent and should be okay), so I'm just trying to get an assessment of what I'd need.</div>
