I'm one of those lurkers... I'm not yet in possession of my own
MythTV box, but I'm rather familiar with *nix and am working on plans
(and finances) for an awesome HDTV MythTV box. When I get it done, it
will be killer. (I am, however, somewhat of a newbie when it comes to
x86 hardware.
Been checking on the hardware... please correct me if I'm wrong here!
The potentially cost-viable CPU options with a few sample prices
attached:
1) AMD Athlon MP (2800 2.13 GHz = USD ~197, can't find anything faster)
2) AMD Opteron (242 1.6 GHz = USD ~158, 244 1.8 GHz = USD ~203)
3) Intel Xenon
I run dual CPUs on my backend and I think if you've got the cash its
an awesome way to do things. I have two P3 Tualatin 1.3GHz CPUs and
capture HDTV off my STB using firewire with no problem while running
