It migth be handy to create a list of (mainstream) hardware that _can't_ be
used with MythTV, and an explanation why.

I've examined the VIA Eden productsheets, and it is indeed impossible to
playback video at a decent rate. The FPU runs at half the speed of the
processor. So it could almost be possible, counting the 400MHz FPU in a
800MHz Eden. But then they've also only hardwired simple FPU operations (+
- * /), others (sin cos tan etc.) are stored in microcode. They operate on
the interger unit, so you won't have any help from the FPU when doing these
calulations.
