"plenty" no. "just enough to squeak by" yes. There's more to a MythTV machine than playback of MPEG2 content. Themes, commerical flagging, filtering, transcoding, music visualizations, DVD ripping and MPEG4 playback are all CPU intensive and will suffer under that CPU. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
