Running a PVR-350 here with a PII-400 Mhz Dell.  Menus aren't as
snappy as they could be I'm sure, but simoultaneous playback and
recording is fantastic due to the onboard encoding/decoding.  As
others have mentioned, the only drawback to this config that I've hit
so far is the inability to play DVD/DivX content through the pvr-350
on lower-powered machines.
