[mythtv-users] Athlon xp 2000+ enough for HD backend server?

[Alan Marchiori]

I have an old Athlon 2000+ KT600 chip set with 512mb of DDR266 Ram; if I add
a HD 5500 or HD 3000 tuner (and a big hard drive) will it be able to record
HD + serve HD data to 1 front end client at the same time?

This would be for my 1st MythTv setup, and I'd like to keep it cheap as a
proof of concept--Maybe upgrade later as needed to support recording 2 HD
channels + 3 HD frontends.

Any advice for a cheap but nice looking frontend setup would be appreciated
also.  I was hoping to keep it under $300-400 for the frontend (ebay!).

Thanks,
