One doesn't really need SpamAssassin or an online game running on the TV tuner in the living-room. VDR is really a set-to-box software, ie. a one-box = one-task solution. SpamAssassin should run on the Internet gateway, and the games are best played on a monitor + keyboard + joystick than on a remote-only computer. So yes, a budget card can be a production system right now, even without hardware acceleration, with the right software setup... -- NH
