I just picked up a 6200 card at Compuseless for $100 this week to use for 
my first Myth system that I'll be starting this coming week.  Will it work 
in an Athlon 2400+ as a FE/BE or should I return it and get something 
else?  I'm not new to Linux (been using it for ages) but I am new to 
Mythtv.  I'll probably use FC4 if that matters.

Thanks!
