[mythtvnz] Thin Client

I use a via MII 12000 as a diskless SD frontend using PXE boot.  It
works great.

I don't know - I only recently upgraded from a PIII 866MHz SFF box which
had no trouble playing back MPEG-4 or MPEG-2 at SD resolutions, without
the benefit of XvMC etc. If it wasn't doing anything else you could get
by with a bit less I would think.
