A word of note, or possibly a question for the price-conscious Myth
users.

I tried out MythTV on my 800MHz orig. Athlon box. Naturally, it was
an extra box I had laying around (possibly of dubious quality), but I
was disappointed to find out that this box did not be quite harness
enough horsepower to use MythTV smoothly. I did try recording and
playback asynchronously, recording without compression, check for dma
on my hardrive, 256MB RAM, but still not enough to get smooth video.

This doc has some datapoints for the curious,
(http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-3.html#ss3.1), but I guess
my machine is just outside the limits.
