So long as you're not trying any HD content, this is probably good
(though that one's obvious given the 350). I run mine on an AMD 800 with
768MB RAM and it runs like a champ. Single PVR-250 and an NVIDIA card
running XvMC for playback.

Subject: [mythtv-users] Looking for good specifications for mythTV

What are some good specs for a mythTV box..I have seen specs for high
end machines doing multiple recordings....I am not looking into doing
such things...

All i am looking for is to record a single channel while watching
it....and the possibility to pause live tv...
just a basic recording box....

I am looking into buiding a mini-itx box with laptop components....slim
line cd/dvd, laptop hard drive, dimm or sodimm memory depending on what
type of mini-itx motherboard i get or is recommended....

What is the lowest possible processor speed to accomplish recording and
pausing live tv....

i was looking into getting a mini-itx with a 1.3 processor? and a
pvr-350 card?

i know memory helps the system..so i was planning on maxing out the
memory..i found a mini-itx board that can support 2 gig or ram...and the
hard drive space of course is not an issue for me to deal with...it is
basically the processor speed.. 
being this is the first
attempt at creating a mythTV box...
