I'm running version 6.2 on a LinkstationHG which (I think) is a MIPs
running at 270MHz and 128MHz RAM.
I've not (yet) had any problems with audio dropouts or real performance
issues.
I do use .flac so that the server doesn't have to do any transcoding.
The web interface is a little sluggish but bearable. The remote control
interface is reasonably/acceptably responsive. I have approx 350 CDs
ripped.

All in all I'm delighted with the whole deal!

My linkstation spec seems to be quite a bit lower than the minimum
requred spec of a PC. I presume if I used transcoding I would need a
system closer to that recommended. Also I don't use the linkstation for
anything else.

I hope Slim Devices don't start to push up the minimum requirements so
that they can bundle in new whiz-bang features to the cost of making
these 'low end' servers unusable. It would be a real shame if low power
quiet servers such as linkstations became non-viable in future.

Having said all that I do like new features(!) and fully understand
things have to move forward. It would be great though if Slim can
achieve this without having to compromise on the minumum spec
requirements for the server machine.
