Looking to get a Hauppauge HD PVR.

It needs a 2GHz dual core processor.

My laptop has a 2.1GHz single core processor (AMD Sempron M120).

Now bear with me, I'm about as good with this kind of thing as Joey was not being an offensive spam-whore.

I take it my laptop won't be able to support this thing?

Yea it won't work.

Those are MINIMUM requirements. Can't meet the minimum on anything PC? It won't work.

FUCK.

Looks like no HD recording from me anytime soon.

FUCKING FUCK.

Thanks man.

>remove processor
>slap with kitchen knife
>glue back onto motherboard
>dual core processor

Can confirm this works, I doubled my framerate in Skyrim with this method.

I might not know much about this kind of thing, but I know enough to know you're talking shit.







Aren't you?







Does that really work? How?

Holy fuck man

Are you wanting to build a new computer? If you are, I'd be happy to help out. Any of the Intel i3 processors would be a great place to start.

One does not simply rebuild a PC one mearly upgrades in the right order.

Blokey, the HDPVR needs either a dual core CPU or a GPU which supports hardware h.264 encoding. Guessing on the age of your lappy based on your cpu, I'd say you have neither.

I cut mine into nine and said "fuck you PS4!!"

there is no upgrading that, it's too old. any modern mobo will need ddr3 ram and a new proc. The hard drive is usable but I wouldn't recommend it.

You can build a pretty cheap computer with the amd phenom2 x4 965 as your starting point. pick up a mid range mobo, something like a 970 series, 4gb of ddr3 ram, a cheap sata3 hard drive, your existing video card and case, and possibly your existing power supply.

I'm gonna need to get help on getting new equipment.

There's a new generation of intel processors coming out in a couple of days, so current ones will drop in price a little.

With that said, the HD 4000 graphics built into the current ones equates to a Radeon 5550 in terms of performance. Good for low end gaming.

It would still be much better to get a AMD CPU what has a GPU. AMD built in graphics are much better than the HD 4000 and going AMD will save you money.
