We're talking about:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883103228&cm_re=revo-_-83-103-228-_-Product

My concern was "Memory capacity  1GB DDR2", but I've now figured out that 
means it will accept only 1GB DIMMs, and is not actually the "memory 
capacity". Stupid copyrighters.

In this case it appears to, the unit about has ION-LE graphics, as opposed to:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883103234&cm_re=revo-_-83-103-234-_-Product

But I now believe the ION-LE will work OK with Myth.
