I want to use an OLD computer (~866Mhz) to serve as a dedicated
slimserver box. I have my ~1,500 FLACs on a linkstation and was
wondering how much RAM / processing speed would be required to run my 3
SBs simultaneously (all are SB2s).
The Slim Devices FAQ states, "We generally recommend a 300Mhz Pentium
II with 128M of memory. You may also need a faster CPU if you wish to
use multiple Squeezeboxes with a single server computer, or if the
music library is very large."...
Anybody have some real world experience as to what it would take?
My old setup was:
Pentium III 500
256mb ram
Linux (mandrake)
2500 mixed mp3/flac
Off this I was running 1 squeezebox1, running softsqueeze on the server
and running softsqueeze on a different computer.
This boxed managed to do that quite well, but worked a lot smoother with
512mb (but I ran other server processes on it as well).
Note that running flac to a sb1 needs a conversion from flac to wav, and
is a lot mroe cpu intensive and running to sb2. So your server should
be fine.
