If you're only recording from Sky Digital you don't need the tuner so
why not get a dumb video capture card instead of a PVR150 (e.g.
http://www.dse.co.nz/cgi-bin/dse.storefront/en/product/XH6594)?
Certainly 1GHz Athlon should have no problem recording and playing
back at the same time.

The other thing I'd suggest is to consider a DVB-S card. Gets you TVNZ
FTA channels and EPG data (so no dialup required).
