Thanks Marcell, I see from reading the reviews on Newegg that someone named Robb got the SiS version and says it runs MythTV for him fine. Is Robb a member here? I hope he might speak up.
My machines with be frontend only. It looks both versions probably work OK. Pundit-R - SiS - $109 Intel Celeron-D 315 Prescott 533FSB - $72 256MB Crucial PC2700 DDRAM - $27 I'll either reuse some old drive I have here or possibly go with a network boot config if I can figure that out. For $218 seems like a nice little system if I can make it quiet enough.
