[mythtv-users] Two Slow CPUs VS. One Fast CPU

[Sk3tch]

Hi,

Does anyone have any comments on which would be a better setup?

Dual Celeron 366 (or 2 x 500 if I overclock - it is 99% stable)
nVidia TNT2 32MB AGP

or

Single Pentium III 1.26 (512KB cache)
ATI All in Wonder Radeon 7500 64MB AGP

Both setups would have 512MB of RAM, a Hauppauge PVR 250, and 7200RPM 8MB cache disk(s)...I'm just trying to decide between two workstations that I have available to me. 

I realize on paper the Pentium III system looks better, but from what I've read the ATI AIW cards are not fully supported by MythTV (although some have it working).  Also, perhaps the PIII system is overkill since the Hauppauge PVR 250's hardware encoder will significantly reduce CPU overhead.

Thanks in advance!
