Why would you want to do that? The video-out on the pundit is great,
and even a mediocre celeron (if you're not spending the $$ for a full
p4) can handle displaying fullscreen mpeg2 (heck, my 2.4G p4 will play
720p at 800x600). Mind you, this is the SiS pundit, not the pundit-R
(or S). From what I understand, setting up the video out for a 350 is a
PITA, too (and you'll likely lose out on a number of the new openGL ui
changes in forthcoming mythtv versions)
