Ideally PCI, so it can go in a Via Eden box... (the ukha_viaproject in
fact) :-)

This all really depends on the capture card your using. If you
pickup a
wintv card im not sure that software mjpeg will cope well on
either a p2-300
or via 800mhz.
My card does hardware mjpeg and bumps
between 0% to 10% processor usage.
That's why I can still run the other
things I do.
When you say Viaboard, do you mean any, or the little 1
pci slot eden?
Reasonable minium spec? There are some listed on the
showshifter website
that are about right from what I remember of 2 years
tinkering with it.
