Oh one of the unlocked CPUs.  I figured the 3820 was sufficiently fast
for the job and a fair chunk cheaper.

I do have a pair of Vortex 3 120GB drives in hardware raid1.  They are
nice and fast.  The intel's should be even faster I would think.

I do find the 32GB of ram to be quite something.

I also just noticed that the mythfrontend seems to leak:

 6103 mythtv    20   0 22.7g  14g    0 R 100.1 47.4  25919:58 mythfrontend                                                                                                                                                                                                     

Isn't that nice?  Seems to be spinning on the CPU as well.
