I just built a low-end machine for a co-worker. By Low-end I mean what I would consider the be the bare minimum. Her own hardare, P2-300. I put 512M of my own ram into it, and we bought a PVR-250 the lowest end PCI Nvidia card we could get XvMC in. (Think it was an MX4000). I shut off everything animated I could come up with, reduced all "pretty" options to their lowest settings. Overall, the playback and recording are flawless at 720x480 MPEG2. Commercial flagging takes roughly 8 hours for 1 hr of video. Menus, etc, are slow to come up, drop off. She understands putting more horsepower in would go a long ways, but she's happy for the little bit she had to spend so far.
