[G4] Quicksilver cpu upgrade

[Igor Bustos]

I´m not sure about this, but I think that in DTT the content is  
encoded by the broadcaster, and the tunner just pass the stream to  
the PowerMac. So, the "job" is only when decoding it (would know when  
my 9800 arrives, as it is core image compatible and elgato uses "core  
image"). So, for recording, I should only need a good fast hdd.

I think too, that the 7448 is the one to go, but to have a dual is  
something that sounds "cool" :)

Thx
