If this is a reasonably modern (P4 and newer should have no problem) system with 100-200MB of RAM available for SC7 then you can expect excellent performance.
If you want to run SC7 on its own dedicated system then this is possible with modest hardware. Issues arise when trying to run SC7 on embedded systems or appliances with limited RAM and CPU (SC7 likes RAM, 100-200MB just for SC with a large library). You will also want a >=1Ghz CPU if you need snappy performance from the web interface (controller/SB navigation is snappy with lower spec hardware). I have a 1.2GHz Celeron system with 1GB of RAM dedicated to running SC7. It is grossly overpowered for the 1TB of FLAC files and several players it serves. -- syburgh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ syburgh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14239 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53064 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
