The problem is that there are so many variables.  However, I'd say
that a 1.7Ghz CPU (even if it's a Celeron, which isn't nearly the
"bad thing" today like it used to be since Intel has unified the core
architecture) is going to be more than adequate for a single tuner
system.  A 1.7Ghz Celeron is _way_ overkill for a PVR-250; I watch
8Mbps VBR/16Mbps peak MPEG-2 480x480 on a 450Mhz Celeron A
(overclocked 300Mhz Celeron, no SSE) with 80% CPU.
