Hi again

How does this hardware sound for a mythbox

Dell optiplex GX50 comprised of
-1.2Ghz Celeron
-120gb hard drive
-DVD reader/writer
-256Mb of Ram. (would there be much gained if I had 512?)

I hope to add to the above (all of which ive got except for some extra ram)
-A Hauppauge Win tv PVR 150/250/350/500 (which would be the best for
watching free to air tv (no freeview/sky)
-Some sort of PCI NVidia graphics card with s-video out do I can
change it to composite. (is this necessary. The Optiplex has a onboard
graphics card and it seems as though you can get VGA to S-Video
converters. However currently knoppmyth will not start X. I havent
tried very hard yet though.

If these are dumb questions can you just copy and paste the URL please.

thanks

Matthew
