[mythtv-users] Too slow?

You would have much better luck with a graphics card, I'd say pick one
up from a local retailer with a 30 day return exchange policy, give it
a shot and see how it works for you.  Also use a more lightweight
window manager, KDE is much extra bloat that you dont need running on
such a weak frontend.
