"Minimum" means different things to different people. You could get it to run on ridiculously low spec'd hardware - even a Pentium (original) and 128MB of RAM, but there's almost no reason to do so when you can buy a PIII at a flee market or from a neighbor for a few dollars.
I'd say if you're going through the classifieds, look for a minimum PIII 700, with 512MB of RAM (add ram if needed, it's very inexpensive). They should be fairly abundant right now in the used computer market. Do some research if you can on the system's motherboard and make sure that it can read large hard drives. And don't forget another drive for doing backups of the music library. Maybe the same drive you use internally, except in an external USB or firewire enclosure. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22506 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
