Any Sandy or Ivy Bridge processor should work (the specs should say it has
INTEL HD graphics built in).  I am using a Sandy Bridge Celeron G540 (just
about the slowest sandy bridge processor you can buy today) and it was
powerful enough for CPU playback... but VAAPI freed up the CPU for
comflagging and whatnot.

In reality, if you have any sort of GPU acceleration (VAAPI, VDPAU, etc)
there isn't an x86 processor made today that is NOT fast enough.  Mythtv
doesn't use that much CPU unless your doing post processing (commflag,
transcode, etc).
