I ran MythTV in HD on a system with a very similar card (with 256MB)
for quite a while.  It did eventually go bad, but I don't think it was
due to lack of ram.

What is it that you think requires a minimum of 512MB?

Certainly for outputting SD video over S-video output I can't think of
anything that would require that.
