Another thing to consider is this, a Intel Pentium processor is
better for this application than an AMD processor. Also, ATRPMS
mythtv suite is compiled for Pentium procs.

One of the most recent trends in personal computing is to use dual-
core systems (e.g., Pentium D). Intel has emphasized that the dual-
core system will greatly help moving PCs into the living rooms.
Since a dual-core-enabled Longhorn is not expected to come out
until 2007, this may open a rare window of opportunity for Linux to
finally move to the masses (along with OO.o 2.0 and Linux based
cell phones/PDAs). This is why I am interested in playing with
MythTV on Fedora. Just a clarification. Wayne
I've got a pair of (still unused) pcHDTV cards that are almost a year
old now. (Very little DTV on my side of the island, ok *NONE* that
I can find.)
I'd be interested in seeing how well a 1GHz VIA works with these, A
P4 would just be way too hot and noisy for the living room.
