My music collection is only about 175G. I have a 256G SD card and was thinking about setting up a LMS server on a new Raspberry Pi 3. That would be a big step up from my Mac Mini.

Wow, a PPC mac Mini... I would leave it at that if I were you, even if opening the box is not such of a problem. The little machine that still can is terribly slow by todays standards. A raspberry Pi would be cheaper than a RAM module and considerably faster (except perhaps on random disk IOs) 4 SB 3 Libratone Loop mk.2 iPeng (iPhone + iPad) Squeezebox Server 7.9 (linux) with plugins: CD Player, WaveInput, Triode's BBC iPlayer by bpa IRBlaster by Gwendesign (Felix) Server Power Control by Gordon Harris Smart Mix, Music Walk With Me, What Was That Tune? by Michael Herger PowerSave by Jason Holtzapple Song Info, Song Lyrics by Erland Isaksson AirPlay Bridge by philippe_44 WeatherTime by Martin Rehfeld Auto Dim Display, SaverSwitcher, ContextMenu by Peter Watkins. epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105288 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

It is a bit of a hassle to open these old cases so it might make sense to do that. The thing is 10 years old though. Not sure how cost effective it would be to upgrade ram. This is actually a dedicated device which runs LMS and does nothing else. As long as it can do that one task - stream an ALAC or MP3 (320) file to the hard wired Ethernet port - which it seems to do just fine - I am not sure if I care how fast it is for general use.
