Hi, I'm using the same 3800+ processor for my HTPC
setup (both a frontend and backend mythtv setup),
which has one analog card and one digital card.  I've
had no problems with it, except when I watch HD
programs while recording analog, I get stuttering -
but I think that's due to me using only one hard drive
for the system, and it probably gets bottlenecked.
