OK, I was just going to post an email that said "Watch out for the
Celeron because of deinterlace", but after looking something up I see
that "Celeron II"'s (using the Coppermine PIII core/ 0.18um process)
at 566Mhz+ now have SSE, which should make it ok for deinterlace.

This also means that I need to modify the HOWTO - the actual
differentiator of whether a Celeron is going to work is whether it
has SSE (aka MMX2) instructions, not that it's a "Celeron".

I see that the SS50 has two PCI slots.  I suppose with a fast enough
Celeron you can put in two capture cards and still have a fairly
small box.
