What do people do with those? Well TechRadar has just released an article giving readers 15 tips to what they should do with their old PCs says HDMI Deals. Check it out. Many modern TV tuner cards, such as the Hauppauge WinTV GO-Plus, only require a 100MHz processor to play live TV, although your chip will need to be capable of around 700MHz if you want to use your old system as a video recorder, too.
