All,
I'm considering building a client server setup for mythtv and am
wondering how appropriate a xeon processor (2.8ish GHz) would be for
the back end. Is it overkill? Eventually, I'd like the setup to
basically include everything myth has to offer (dvd jukebox,
emulators, etc), and to be able to record 2 steams of video while
watching a 3rd (possibly with an HD card in there too).

By client, server, you mean a remote frontend? In that case, the xeon
is overkill when you consider that your cards are likely to be hardware
encoding cards. But, the power is very useful for commercial flagging
and transcoding which can be significant with 3 tuners, especially HD.
