heh.  Sorry, I suppose I should have said this right off the bat.  I have an
Avermedia doing analog capture, and an HD Homerun recording HD.  The
reasoning behind the CPU was that I transcode a decent amount of HD down to
720x480 to play back on some SD frontends.  But it seems that just about
everyone thinks it is still too much, so I'm currently rethinking that.

Anyone have comments on the differences between the Opteron line and the X2
line?
