It depends on the capture device and wether or not you need  
to change formats. 
 
If you're going to leave it in the same format as the capture device  
then a P2 is sufficient.  Otherwise go with the fastest CPU 
can afford.  Usually there's a point where there are diminishing 
returns.  Obviously paying twice as much for 20% more performance 
isn't a good deal.
