[mythtv-users] mythtv recompile because of new CPU

[Joseph A. Caputo]

Well, I'm sure others have varying experiences, but I'd guess that since a
PVR-250 puts very little load on the CPU, you could get away with (almost)
leaving it out of the CPU equation.  So for a frontend/backend with single
PVR-250, you might be able to get away with a 500MHz machine; with a PVR-250
& a V4L tuner, maybe 1.5GHz (2GHz for PIP).  Again, you can get away with
less if you turn down the capture size/quality on the V4L card.  Also, keep
in mind that with a PVR-250/350 your disk space requirements will go up.
