[G4] Quicksilver cpu upgrade

[Phil Crowe]

If you are using the Elgato Eye TV Hybrid for recording TV, then you are
encoding the source through software using the QS CPU. Elgato has a new unit
out which handles digital TV and encodes it through hdwe before transmitting
it on to your computer (I think it retails for less than the old analog
EyeTV 250), This would reduce the demand on your CPU.

Also, from reviews at XLR8yourmac.com, the 7448 chip is supposed to consume
less power and run cooler than the older G4 chips, which might be worth
considering if you are running 24/7.

I don't have either item so no experience, just an opinion.
