No, thanks to Moore's law. Power consumption of memory is marginal anyway. bits;696287 Wrote: > Plus there is zero point having huge CPU and ram in every Squeezebox to > cater for the 1 that needs to run as the server.

For example, if you want to do 192 kHz, you will need twice the CPU. Please compare the Radio and the Touch, the radio has less CPU and half memory of the Touch, it has a simplified UI (no VU, no equaliser), and only support 48 kHz. Coincidence ? Have fun...
