First Off I would like to say thanks for taking the time an replying to my
questions. The unofficial faq helped alot.
I have looked into my old computer and it is a P2-350 MHZ so I will probably
still try to make it work, possibly overclock it a touch.
This machine will be a stand alone Myth box. So it will have to run
everything, front and back ends, of MythTV.
I am thinking of going with a Geforce 4 MX420 64MB PCI TV-out. The PVR 250
from Hauppauge, 20 gig drive, and 256 MB of Ram.
