I missed having the first post, so I guess I'll settle for second.
I was thinking of using an older Prescott (530) system to build a MythTV box, but I was reading articles that said a "modern" system should have at least a 3.2 GHz processor. The 530 is only 3 GHz so.... Off hand, I suspect that the old 530 chip would do fine, but am I wrong?
I'm thinking I'll do my new desktop machine in January/February so I'll have the old hardware available in March (give or take). Can I use the old hardware or will I need to do some upgrading?
