I'm using a Xeon 400Mhz proc (well, 2 procs in the box, but running a
non-SMP kernel right now ) with a PVR-350 for a backend/frontend
combination. In addition, I'm serving an XBOX frontend upstairs, and
there are no issues with this machine. Except for commercial
flagging, CPU utiliization on the backend is ~8%.
