The benchmarks all agreed that the P4-based Celeron was one of the crappiest modern processors, but it's still modern, so it might very well be enough for MythTV! I can get by without any problems with a 1.1Ghz Celeron (the 256k L2 cache model - mostly a rebadged P3)

I wouldn't buy a P4 myself, but that's mostly an opinion thing at this moment in computer evolution. But the I prefer the AMD motherboards/chipsets to the P4 ones...
