if you're using one of the pvr-x50 cards then CPU isn't as big a factor since the card does the en/decoding (depending on card) for you. if you want to transcode the captured file then you'll need a little more power. i think minimum recommended requirements were something like an 800MHz PIII while using one of the pvr-x50 cards. 512MB of RAM should be fine depending on what else you plan on running on this box. it should be more than enough for a stand alone MythBox. i'm not sure if the pvr-150 is supported yet. i know there are ppl working on it, but i don't think drivers are available yet so you may want to double check that. the next best thing would be the pvr-250 which is a bit more expensive but does the same thing. i think that's the preferred card right now. > > 2.
