Media Center Edition 2005, which I have, records all video in DVR-MS format, which is microsoft proprietary format for Media Center Edition. Is 2002 the same? I would assume so. If so, the only option available are Good, Better, Etc...
I do know that your RAM is definitely a bottleneck with running MCE, as is your processor.
Having said that, I find that actually using Media Center to view any type of video to be a pain in the ass. 2005 still has the same FF/RW issues you speak of. I use it for recording only, and do all of my watching with windows media player 10. I also have an Extender and use it to watch my computer files in other rooms of the house.
To edit DVR-MS files or turn them into another format, you can use Roxio Easy Media Creator 8, one of the only software programs that will edit an MS-DVR file.
