I would think that anything you could buy new would be fine. I ran 600+ CDs on a P2-500 for years, and replaced it because I forgot to check the fans and the CPU burned out. I replaced it with a motherboard that I had laying arround, I think it is about a AMD 1800+, it works fine. More memory is good, 512 is probably a practical minimum as much because it is hard to buy less than that these days. With a large library, I'd put a gig of ram on it just because it is so cheap. Starting from scratch, I'd use a modest drive for the OS and put all the tunes on a second or third huge drive. I think my current 730 CDs fits on less than 250 GB FlAC -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
