[mythtv-users] The Fit-PC: Too low-end for HD?

[Matt Emmott]

This may not be HD capable, but it's so cool I at least have to mention
it... My Gmail ads had a link to the Fit-PC, which is an uber
small-form-factor PC for $295. I think the big killer is the soldered-in
256MB RAM, but here are the specs - What's everybody think?
