It could work, given the proper recording settings. My frontend is a Celeron
433 with 256 MB. It handles my mpeg2 recordings just fine, but was choking

You'll probably have to recompile to get things to work. I think there is
something in the docs about needing MMX/SSE for the default install. Check
