Dear Customer:
For NV5000 products hardware spec suggestion list please refer to
http://www.avermedia.com/nvd/hardware-recom.asp
We are highly suggested to use P4 CPU to run our NV series and for the most stable security DVR, we strongly recommend NOT using VIA/SiS/ALi chipsets and SiS VGA chips with our products due to their severe limitation of the chipset design.
Thank you for purchasing our product and hope our product could satisfy you.
