Re: [mythtv-users] Xeon procs with MythTV?

Unless you are planning on doing encoding in software, that is definitely overkill. If you use capture cards that do hardware encoding, like the Hauppauge PVR line of cards, the backend doesn't need much processor power at all.

The frontend is where serious processing power can be needed.

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).
