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)
