[oclug] Setting up MythTV

To anyone that has a MythTV box, is it OK if MythTV is on a server box 
with other stuff running (e.g. Apache, MySql, NFS, etc) if the hardware 
is fast enough, or should it be on its own box no matter what the hardware?

I don't actually have the server box yet (it's a server that's being 
decommissioned at work), so I can't give you the exact specs, but it's a 
dual proc system (at least P3, maybe Xeon, not sure of the speed), at 
least 1 GB of RAM, two SCSI disks (not sure of the size).  Given these 
(very) approximate specs, do you think that it'll be enough if I use a 
tuner card with hardware encoding like the PVR-250?

Thanks.
