Hi! I can't help you on the xbmc part, nor do I know how many GB of diskspace your motherboard can handle, but I do have some experience running myth with DVB-T tuners on a 600 MHz PIII.

I have 2 Nova-T in my system. They work great - it was just a bit confusing to figure out which drivers to use since different revisions of the Nova-T have different chipsets. (You can tell them apart, however.) > I don't really want to start if 600Mhz isn't going to be enough. Is there > any way around this and will I be able to watch live tv as well as > pre-recorded tv? I have a 600 MHz machine, too, and I can record 2 programs and watch a third one without any problems. (Recording DVB doesn't really tax the processor since it's basically just writing the data stream to disk.) I do, however, have a GeForce 5200-based gfx card, which, from my understanding, handles much of the MPEG-decoding during playback. Without that (or another similar card), 600 MHz might not be sufficient for playback on that machine. (The 5200 is nice because it has a TV-out and no cooling fan, which cuts down on the noise.) Oh, and forget about PiP - 600 MHz aren't enough for that.
