I have a 600 MHz C3 on a Epia-M... The processor is passively cooled,
but fast enough even for using xine for software only decoding. I can
watch divx, but get always a few dropped frames...
but if you _only_ want to use vdr, it's no problem... If you have the
money: buy a hush technologies system with the 1GHz Nehemiah, this may
be expensive, but is much faster than my 600MHz C3 (not only faster
clock speed, but a newer, much improved core revision). the hush system
uses a heatpipe to transfer the heat from the cpu to the case and thus
cool it completely noiseless...
