[mythtv-users] First stab at mythtv...

[Michael Janer]

I am saying processor power.  The raw CPU speed I have read in numerous reviews compares it to PII/III systems in the sub 1ghz level.  Now if you have an hardware mpeg2 encoder and are taking advantage of the hardware decoding capabilities, then playback and recording is quite possible.  He is talking about mpeg4 which at this point is all on the processor.  Thats all I was trying to point out, that his EPIA would not be able to handle it.  Decoding, yes, but not coupled with encoding.

Which is odd, as it seems to be arround the same speed as my Athlon 900...
(the Epia has faster memory, almost everything is better, besides the smaller
cache)
