I added an ATI wonder tv tuner to my Dell P4 computer. &nbsp;I also have an ATI usb tv tuner connected to my p4 laptop. &nbsp;The usb tuner uses<br />
10% of my laptop' processing power. &nbsp;The ATI Wonder uses 40% of my Dell desktop&quot;s processing power' rendering my Dell<br />
almost useless for other tasks when the tuner is operating. &nbsp;Why would the tv tuner eat up so much of my Dell's processing<br />
power? &nbsp;Could there be some sort of conflict with other programs? &nbsp;Any ideas on how i can remady this situation? Thanks<br />

Tv tuner eats up processing power

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.
