Wanting to upgrade my Q8400 CPU in my SageTV media server. The server is headless and records analog TV with tuner cards and HD tv with an HDHR. It also runs commercial skipping utility and transcodes MPEG2 videos to a handful of Hauppauge MVP front ends.
I will also be upgrading from XP Home to Win7 64.
I haven't looked at CPUs lately. Can anyone recommend a value CPU for this media server? I don't think I need a real beefy processor; the 8400 has never broken a sweat. I just need to update my media server hardware and re-purpose the 8400 for another project.
