I'm running SlimServer on Windows XP Pro SP2 without any problem whatsoever and reboot the machine rarely. It's running on my everyday PC, running all manner of software - Apache, MySQL, Microsoft Office, my email client, newsgroup readers, Photoshop, games, EAC, flac, LAME, foobar, WinAMP. Memory sometimes gets a little tight, as I have only 1GB and having 15 browser windows open, plus my email client, a spreadsheet or two, Agent newsgroup reader, plus SlimServer with MySQL usually pushes things to about 850MB. But SlimServer seldom misses a beat and I never lose connections to my SB2.
The machine specs are: P4 3.0GHz, 1 GB PC3200 ECC RAM, two Western Digital 200GB 7200RPM SATA drives. My music library is on a ReadyNAS 600 on my 100GBit lan. Because I'd like to free this machine up, and because I may be upgrading it I'm in the process of building a dedicated server that will run SlimServer, MySQL, Apache, most likely running Linux. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18129 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
