Hello everyone, I currently run SBS 7.6 (latest nightly per the date of this post) on Win 7 x64 on a 4Ghz core i7 with the entire program and its cache on RAMDisk. The system drive is a 80GB Intel SSD and it is where the .prefs file resides.
I have done everything in my power to make this web interface respond fast and I must admit it does quite well. However I have noticed some hiccups like how it needs to read the HDD (or the network location) before showing album art on the web interface or on iPeng for that matter. Given this behavior the only next step I see is to literally get 1TB of SSDs to store my entire music collection on it. This would run maybe $2000. So I am asking those who have run SBS on Windows and on Mac OS if it really makes a speed difference by running on a Unix based OS. I am seriously considering the new Mac Mini to run both iTunes and SBS. Then I could use my PC only for HTPC and leave that power hungry monster in sleep mode. I will of course be putting everything on RAMDisk even in the Mac. I tried this on my Hackintosh and it works perfectly (My post history will show the programs I used - it was very easy. Also a RAMDisk on Mac can be set up in command line). So does it run faster on a Unix based OS? Is Windows holding me back? -- sxr71 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sxr71's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18773 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79703 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
