I've got a SG33G5 Shuttle with Intel Core Duo E6850 2,80GHz 2x1GB RAM with an onboard Intel G33 graphic card.
The OS is a very lite XP and only vMix runs on this PC.
I want to use an Osprey 440 4-channel grabber card to grab 4 camera's.
The resolution I want to use is PAL 640x480.
Can the standard graphic card do the job or do I have to place a more advanced PCIe card?
If so can somebody recomment a dualhead card? (It will only be used for vMix).

Hello
Your System "can" work. Notice that the Intel G33 feature an Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 3100. You Will lose some frame sometime even with the last drivers and your small resolution you choose. I will advice to get and PCI Express card like a Nvidia Gt610, it's cheap actually and you will regret nothing. Even if 2 Gb can be good, 3 gb will be better. But if you have the possibility, upgrade your system to Windows Seven 64 and 4 GB of Memory. You will have peace. But be carefull the osprey require a PCI 2.3 comliant. If your motherboard doesn't meet this. You will get nothing.

I already tested the Osprey card on a old blue Shuttle and it works, I hope it will also work in the SG33G5.
I have tried Windows 7, but the vMix cpu usage in Windows 7 is higher then in WinXP so I switched back to XP.

BTW I just bought a ZOTAC GeForce GT610 (1GB) :)
