Default pc spec help

hi all,

just looking for some advise about the minimum or idea pc hardware for a standard pc media centre with Satellite. am going with the skystar 2 hd turner and at least 1tb hard drive but am not sure on cpu, ram or graphic card?

do you need high spec part or can you go for a simpler unit?

i personally thinking of going for duo core, 2-3gb ram and 1 gb graphic card... would that do?

also if i got a 3d graphic card would that allow me to view 3d channels?


thanks for the advice

the pc and card are fine but i think you would also need a 3d monitor to watch 3d channels
