[mythtv-users] Celeron processors with MythTV

I'm building a mythtv box with the following tuner cards:

ATI TV-wonder Stereo (no hardware encoding/decoding)
Hauppauge PVR-250 (hardware encoding/decoding)

Would a Celeron 2.0 Ghz provide enough muscle to run these tuners, and
still leave a bit left over for other functions (i.e., surfing the web,
etc.)?  Are there any caveats to going with the Celeron line? (i.e., run
hotter, etc)

Also, if I did indeed go with the Celeron 2.0 ghz, would 256 mb of memory
suffice, or would I need to go higher?

Thanks for the help guys!  I'm almost there.... ;-)

John
