Hi, thank you for your prior responses. I have a followup question...

How much of a CPU load is this? Right now, if the laptop running SBS is
running a virus scan, lots of websurfing, or other activities, the music
stream does get interrupted. However, I cant tell if this is from
processor overload or network bandwidth limitations.

Right now, there are two SB's. I'd like to add 2 more. If the file
format is mostly ALAC, implying server side transcoding, will this be
an issue?

I have a desktop tower that I repaired with an Athlon 64, running at
3.7 GHz with 2 GB RAM. Would this be a better (sufficient) choice?

Thanks!
