[AG-TECH] HDMI VIC system useage on Windows

[Mike.W.Daley at cs.cardiff.ac.uk]

Hi Derek
During our recent work with Jimmy in Utah we have been using a dual  
core intel pentium 3.2gig processor and Blackmagic intensity pro  
capture cards. This has worked well and on a 1 gig network only used  
1% bandwidth.
Display on the otherhand did prove a problem initially. using a second  
machine with the same processors and a quad nvidia the display could  
not keep up with the 4 or so HD streams coming in. The processor was  
only at 56% usage and network again 1%. It turned out to be the  
graphics card not capable of displaying everything at once.
We have now built a display machine with a Quad core prcessor 4 gig  
memeory and two dualhead 9600 nvidia cards giving excellent results.
