 	As far as the computer is concerned, 2x150 or 1x500 doesn't 
matter.  The only thing to consider is whether or not you may make a 
"small form-factor" mythbox.  The small boards don't have many PCI slots.

 	If you have plenty of slots now and in the planned future for your 
mythbox, go for 2x150's if they're cheaper.  Otherwise, consider the 500 
as it's a bit more elegant... probably produces less heat, too.
