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.
