In theory uncompressed capture should be possible on the 840av.  In reality,
you can capture segments as large as your memory size uncompressed.  In
theory, you can stripe ATTO cards (FWDiff) to get 40MB/s.  No one has been
able to confirm if the drivers support doing this.  Further, I haven't seen
a definative answer to whether NuBus can support that much bandwidth.  I 
believe it is cutting it close to theoretical limits that don't take overhead
into account. I don't want to spend that much money on something unconfirmed
at this time.  I am far less familiar with the capabilities of the build in
capture on the PCI AV macs, like my 6500.
