I have a Celeron 466, 320MB, i810 chipset, and a PVR-250.  I'm currently
using 480x480 and 3000kbps encoding.  It works pretty well.  The machine
records with very little CPU usage.  Playback for LiveTV takes about 40%
CPU.  Commercial flagging is just about realtime (28min for a 30min show). 
MythVideo (mplayer) is able to play DVDs just fine.

I do have one issue that I think might be CPU related.  When I bring up the
program guide while watching LiveTV, I get a bit of audio stuttering while
it rearranges the screen and initially brings up the guide.
