Hmmm... This is definitely a lesser CPU than what you're running.  (P4-HT is not exactly dual core)
And I double checked and need to make a correction: My system has 1GB of RAM.

And answering your question: This is a FE/BE system. But I wasn't watching
anything at the time during the recording.

I can bump the memory if it helps, I just remember MythTV not requiring so much on the FE.
Oh well.

Sounds like this year might be a planned upgrade year. :p
