I successfully use a VIA PicoITX motherboard that's the size of a passport. It has a 1 GHz VIA CPU and use < 10W idle and heatpipe cooling without fans. 1 GByte RAM. Internal harddrive is 160G laptop-type.
SC runs great on it but the web-interface is sluggish. I now use Google's Chrome browser and configured it for SC as an "application-icon". Chrome is twice as fast as Firefox. To the poster writing "too cheap or green to buy fast server": even with a fast server I feel the web-interface is sluggish and I read others with fast servers complaining about it too. Also, you should buy hardware appropriate for the task. I use my Pico for SC, playing DVD, Internet browsing and email. It would be stupid to use my gaming-rig for SC because you don't need those video-cards, 4GByte RAM, Gigabit ethernet etc. It's a waste of both money and energy to use a high-performance rig for SC and it doesn't give you much in return. I didn't even use a different/older/faster skin for SC because with Chrome it's just fine on the PicoITX. cheers, Nick. -- DeVerm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DeVerm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18104 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54591 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
