Hi!

I want to turn my old computer to HTPC. I am thinking using linux with mythtv. 

Computer specs are:

Celeron 400
Asus P2B-F (BX chipset)
64 MB SDRAM
Matrox G400 DH

I want to be able to record and live pause tv program. I am thinking of buying Hauppauge PVR-250. Is this enough? Maybe i should replace cpu with P3 say 800MHz. Does someone have similar configuration?
Is it better to buy tv tuner without hardware mpeg2 encoding and invest more in motherboard/cpu power?
Thanks in advance...
