Bob,

  I was running a PVR-500, PVR-250, HD-3000 and HD-5500 on a Dual-PII 866
with 512MB ram and 18GB SCSI system disk and dual 50GB SCSI video disks for
Videos.

  Granted, that was a few years ago, and on Fedora 4, but since the Analog
cards are hardware encoders, I don't see any issues with adding a PVR-500 to
your existing system.  (You might need to add an amplifier - but perhaps not
with a cable TV feed).  I was only using the S-Video inputs on my PVR
tuners, feeding them from Dish Network STBs.
