[mythtv-users] What processor?

[Tom]

For someone planning to build a myth box for the first time, what processor 
should one use, assuming one wants to built a fairly robust combination 
FE/BE with going significantly into the overkill range? I want to have 
plenty of horsepower for new developments in MythTV, but hey, I'm not going 
to play games on it that demand extreme overclocking and liquid cooling and 
dual $500 video cards.

I have an HD HomeRun on order from the jungle bookseller, but still in the 
planning stages for the rest of it. I'm planning on using Mythdora. For the 
moment, I need s-video output to the TV, but later it will be HDMI when I 
join the real world and get a decent TV.
