I have heard that ATI AIW cards will not work with myth. But I'm not sure.

I use bt878 cards, they'll work fine...   ...IF your CPU has the power.
As it is, I _seriously_ doubt that an Eden 533 can handle it, not even when 
just using rtjpeg...  So no luck there.

The CPU being what it is, I'd wager your only option is a hauppauge PVR.
