OK that makes total sense now. Good to know that it's stable with the AMD/VIA setup. Thanks for the info rory. What about using a wireless camera?

What I'm trying to do ...... Set up a small home security system with 2, possibly 3 cameras using a PC with a DVR card. Just have a few questions, I'll try to be brief. 1) Which DVR card will give me the best bang for the buck? Currently looking at a Geovision GV-250-4 . Willing to spend more if necessary. 2) How worried should I be about FPS rates? If a card is rated at 20 FPS, and I have 4 cameras, do I get 20 FPS on each camera or do I divide by 4? What framerate will give me decent picture quality? 3) I would like to have at least one wireless camera included in my setup. Can I use a wireless camera with the Geovision card? What additional equipment do I need to do this? A Wireless card? Router? The distance from the camera to the P.C. will be no more than 100 feet. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks every1.
