My previous Duron 900 setup with 133MHz SDRAM was _just_ fast enough to
play DivX with mplayer to dxr3 which I guess would be directly comparable
to doing the same thing for a dvb card.

I sometimes had to use -quiet option in order not to lose frames or sync
when running mplayer via ssh2 connection. Just shows how close it was
to not being fast enough. ;)

In other words, Duron 1100 should be fast enough especially if you have
DDR RAM, which makes a huge difference too.
