[mythtv-users] Lowest energy processor

[Jon Hoyt]

I have read up on Freevo and Myth.  The only advantage that freevo has over
myth is that it seems to run using less processor power.  It claims you can
run it on about a 400 Mhz processor, and what i have seen for specs on most
machines here is around 1 Ghz or higher is required.  Going with the lower
end processor would quite the system down because it would require less to
cool it which is where most of the noise comes from.  Would this seem about
right?  

Myth seems to have more functionality when it comes to the live tv portion
but I wonder what Freevo has along the lines for capturing resolution.  All
it says is it needs a faster processor for higher resolution, which could
mean 1 ghz.  Good to see there is somewhat sound competition for Myth,
competition breeds better products
