A 5200 is more than enough for a Myth box (including HDTV), so there's really
not a whole lot of reason to spend the extra money on a 5500 or 5700. The
5200 being a lower clock speed/memory speed/etc, means they're often quieter,
as they require less cooling. My 5200 has only a heat sink, so its not adding
any noise pollution, and it handles HDTV beautifully.
