An 866 MHz processor would be more than adequate
to run 3 SBs. Keep in mind that some people use
the Linkstation processor itself to power
SlimServer! (Which doesn't work all that well,
but it's passable).
How much RAM does it have? If it's a DEDICATED
box with Windows, 128 MB is the bare minimum. 256
MB should be perfect and would allow for use for
other applications (ripping, for example).
Multiple SBs are more constrained by wireless
bandwidth than by processor speed and memory
requirements. SS is only processor-intensive when
it's rescanning.
