[mythtv-users] Will I regret ditching my GF4MX?

*sigh*

I never thought selecting new hardware would be this difficult.

I'm building a new frontend/backend combo to house my new M-179s (2 of 'em) 
plus my old WinTV 401 card that I've been using since Myth-0.7.  My existing 
video card is an AGP GF4MX that I'm very happy with.  At first, I thought I'd 
keep the AGP card in my old system, and get a new one based around an nForce2 
board (IGP + MCP-T).  However, the only board(s) that had the feature(s) I 
needed were full ATX, and I had really been hoping to put together a SFF 
system.  So then I thought I might sacrifice 1 tuner and go for a 2-tuner 
system built around a Pundit.  Then I thought, well, if I'm going to forego 
onboard GF4MX video, I might as well consider uATX boards or other SFF 
systems with 2 or 3 PCI slots.

So, my main question is this:  if I go with the Pundit or some uATX board with 
on-board (non-Nvidia) TV-out, will I miss my GF4MX? (Note: a PVR-350 is *not* 
in the budget at this point)

TIA,

JAC
