Putting together a system for a friend with a few parts around the house. :) Have an AIW 128 (16mb) that I would like to put near the TV for PVR services.

Couple questions:

1. Is the 128 version a good version for PVR purposes... or should I really use the Radeon version? Remember, this is not for playing games.

2. Will a dedicated hdd really make a big difference?

3. Is a 40g 5400rpm hdd ok to use... or is 7200 really necessary?

4. Best sound card to use... a reasonably priced one please.

5. Any other considerations?

Would appreciate any help from those of you in-the-know. Thanks!
