2 CPUS in the box but running a non-smp kernel? Are you INSANE?... :)
Just as another datapoint though, one of my 900MHz PIII's in my SMP box is
pegged with slightly less than desirable quality on a bttv card. For a
pvr-x50, a 233MHz should be completely fine for a backend. Be careful,
though... My old dual Celeron 300->450 BP6 did not recognize my PVR-250. I
think it's a newer PCI revision (subtle little suckers)... never even showed
up. I suspect any machine too old will have that problem.
