I am running a Hauppauge PVR-500 on a MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR NForce2, no problems.
I followed the setup from Jarod Wilson's FC4 howto. Very straight forward. Only snag to watch for is the kernels when upgrading the distro via yum, as Axel @ atrpms has not released updated kernel modules yet. I would recommend going to http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php#sw. Manually install kernel 2.6.12-1447, and update the rest of the distro.
Cheers,
Tarick

Is there a drop-off in picture quality going from a pair of 250s to a 500?

I need to get another 150 and it will be as if I was running a 500, more or less.
I forgot some of the details I went through to get it working, but I may be able to figure them
out if you have a specific question.
