Don't forget that the FX5200 works as well. If you have onboard video, it may be worth looking what video chip set is fitted, a lot of newer boards have an nVidia chipset. MythTV also works with Matrox cards, but neither Kat or myself have tested one yet (I have a line on a couple of Matrox cards, and I'd like to try the system in "dual head" mode - VGA on one port, 405 on the other).

I have a system running with a 1.4GHz P4, with 630MB RAM, though knoppMyth documentation says that it can only use 512MB. My system is happy to run live analogue tv, but I haven't tried a digital card yet.
