The step up from an XP2400+ wasn't as much as I thought it would be.
MythTV (fresh MythDora 4 install) still tends to be a bit sluggish at
times which I found surprising.

Funny that - I just bought this motherboard to work as my slave backend
and main frontend... I've been a little surprised at the sluggishness of
it when running CentOS 5. I've got an X2 4200+ on mine. Drives 1080i
just fine so far...

I've got an X2 5000+ in mine and I don't really notice any
sluggishness. I'm running Ubuntu Feisty (x64 version). The Gig-E worked
out of the box on Ubuntu (I originally tried Gentoo and couldn't get it
to work with the ethernet so I gave up and just went with Ubuntu :p)<br>

I'm using VGA as well. I tried HDMI, but I had two problems. First, for
some reason I wasn't getting a 1:1 pixel mapping, so text was really
hard to read (VGA has no such problems). I didn't look into too much
because of the second problem: the HDMI socket is *really* close to the
optical S/PDIF socket and my optical cable (which is, admittedly,
fairly old) was a bit too chunky -- I couldn't plug both in at the same
time! So I just stuck with the VGA cable...<br>
