[mythtv-users] Looking for good specifications for mythTV

[Chris Weisiger]

The thing is with the mini-itx stuff is that I have an old NES and i was 
reading about
building mini-itx systems and thought while im building it...to build it 
in a way
to use it as a pvr system.....which i was looking at getting a mini-itx 
board
that can handle a 1.3 or so processor 

This is the motherboard that I was looking into getting....thats if i 
cant locate
a mini-itx to handle a pentium processor
