How much system RAM for Arch-based MythTV box?

I'm thinking of using an older (not too old) computer I have sitting around to build a MythTV box. My current question is about the specs necessary to make this useful for everyday capture/playback, and other normal HTPC related tasks. So, how much system memory do I need? 512MB, 1GB, more? Oh, and what about CPU? I've got and old Athlon XP 3200+ that I'm not using. Would that work well? My budget is basically USD $200-300 for new parts and the rest must come from my personal parts surplus.

My mythtv frontend was an Athlon 1400+ with 512MB of RAM. It was more than adequate... though I doubt it would be for HD recordings.
You'll be fine.

  • How to check how much free ram in E72?

    I've heard so many discussion saying about the free ram? how can i check the free ram during the use of the mobile?
    Please help...

    I am a e72 user, and yes, the ram sucks. In matter of fact, all my posts for the e72 is more concerned on the free ram available.
    Anyway, use the following software called Taskman:
    http://www.smartphoneware.com/taskman-for-s60-3rd-edition-product.php
    It is a trial version, but nevertheless you will see how much free ram the phone has. 
    Now all i can do is just sit and wait and perhaps a miracle can happen where a future firmware can somewhat free some RAM (very unlikely).

  • How much is 3GS for a completely new customer ?

    Until now, the only apple product i've ever used is my ipod. i just want to know, how much is it for a new customer like me if i'm planning to buy three 3gs? i want to know the price for both the 16gb and the 32 gb. and are the price will be accompanied with a contract to at&t? if yes, for how long and how much should i pay beside for the handset?

    right, at first i'm not sure about the 199$ and 299$ price, because i thought those prices are only for existing iphone users...
    Yeah, i want to buy iphone for use in Indonesia, but the first thing i want to know is how much it will cost in the Us, so I canpredict how expensive it is when it is launched in my country. is it possible that the price in Indonesia and New Zealand is the same, if not cheaper, with the prices in the US when they are finaly launched in those countries? Because i'm planning to go to NZ for my vacation, and who knows if they launched this thing when i'm there....

  • Can you tell me the system requirements for arch please.

    can you tell me the system requirements for arch please.

    Enhu, welcome to the forums. Listing minimum requirements is pretty standard for most distros nowadays, and this being Arch, we expect you to do a minimum of effort to find out something like that. The wiki link is pretty clear on the memory, and since Arch is i686, any i686 CPU will do - something a search would have told you as well. This has been covered ad nauseam already.
    Closing before we get any more attempts at trolling Windows.

    how much it cost for replacement of ipad mini 2 lcd with retina and touch screen

    Apple's Limited Warranty http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/ for iPad excludes coverage for damage resulting from accident, disassembly, unauthorized service and unauthorized modifications.
    The warranty will apply to the country of purchase. And if there is a problem needing repair you have to return it to the country of purchase.
    Out-of-Warranty Service
         If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)   
    iPad model
    Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
    iPad mini
    $219
    iPad 3rd, 4th, Air
    $299
    iPad 2, iPad
    $249
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
    Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service. See http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad

    Sorry, iPhones exposed to Salt Water, are pretty much destroyed. Salt Water is one of the most corrosive elements there is.
    Make an appointment at any Apple store & they will do an out of warranty exchange for US $269.

  • How much space gb for updating iOS 8.1.1

    How much space gb for updating iOS 8.1.1

    Depends on what iOS version you are coming from.   If you are at iOS 8 it should be less than 100MB.
    Otherwise it will vary depending on where you start from.
    Also, I will request this post be relocated to the Using iPad area, as it has nothing to to with iBooks Author (The section it was posted in).

  • How much I repair for my Macpro 13inch damage Motherboard by liquid?

    How much I repair for my Macpro 13inch damage Motherboard by liquid in singapore?

    One thing to keep in mind is that any electronic component inside your computer could be damaged, so you could end up paying to replace a lot of other parts later. (You also may not... it's a bit of a gamble.) It's your decision whether to repair or not, of course, but I personally would never consider repairing a computer with liquid damage. I would consider it a loss and would just replace it.
    BTW, hope the smog is clearing up where you are!
