</div>But time is money, too. It's a lot easier to just buy some ram from<br>
New Egg than to spend days trolling ebay/craigslist. This stuff is<br>
too cheap for that to be worthwhile.<br>

But mythtv runs great on older hardware, so it's really hard to justify dedicating a $200+ processor to it when you can get a perfectly capable processor, motherboard, and RAM for less than that; especially if, like me, you have a wife who questions every penny spent... even if I end up spending another $150 down the road replacing everything and re-purpose the old hardware, I still won't be annoying my wife with a large $300+ purchase.</div>
