Your machine is certainly 1000 times faster than some of these NAS boxes I suppose the joke was not on you. Xp that was a long ago but anything around 1-1.6mHz with >=1GB ram should certainly do it very well, some run XP with only 512mB of RAM thats barely enough to keep XP happy, and it upgrades all the time so fond memory of XP was that use of sytem resources was creeping upwards all the time. If you run some other OS i supose 512mB would actually be more than ok. Have you done the streaming test lately how fast does it go close to 3000kBs is expected on an SB3 If one want to test the server trothle up the network test on all players. An bad example I know on my old XP partition i could never reach above 1500kBs but I think that was Nortons doing that something had gone really bad about the way my computer handled ip traffic, i tried other firewalls but once Norton has been installed in a system it's forever fubare'd . Tried ubuntu on the same hardware worked splendidly. I never seen any similar report on how to fault trace that is XP known to having problems with moving data fast ? Multiboot is a possible way to try things on slow machines (othervise virtual machines or good). I have an Ubuntu partition and one XP partition. You can do this with any combination you can run 2 different XP partitions too ? that's a way to see if it is the OS or hardware thats misbehave. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: SB3 (soon to replaced by a Touch :) It is on preorder) Bedroom/Office: Boom Kitchen: Receiver (soon to be replaced by my SB3 and the SBR to be stuffed in a box in the attic ) I use a Controller various ir-remotes and a Eee-PC with squeezeplay to control this ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65719 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
