If it helps, I've got six wired SB2's connected to a linksys 16 port hub and talking to a Dell P3 550 256MB RAM. It works like a champ. They constantly tick RSS if not in use, but in use, 6 play independently without skipping. Scrolling through the songs are fast and very responsive.
Before, I had them running on a compaq p2 450 with 256MB RAM. Some reason, none of them could hold a steady song at any time. Scrolling would lock up for more than 5 seconds at a time. Back to the P3 550. It's a very clean server, just file sharing, no other services except for a black ice firewall. After moving to a cleaner server, I am a firm beleiver of 1. Hardware requirements 2. Clean server - no major services running to compete with CPU. -- Randall ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Randall's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=947 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19523 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
