The quality of your network is more important than the OS. Spend your
money on Wired Gigabit between LMS and the clients or flood your house
with a strong and reliable WiFI signal.

Again, thank you. Sounds as if a new MB will not hurt, but it may not
make much difference either to standard server operations. More memory
and faster HD bus might be more of a difference maker. it sounds?
I really appreciate the input on this topic.
@jimzak: you should go back to the mysql database with your lib specs.
mysql is much faster (@ your lib size) than sqlite.
@dyohn:
the most important thing to know is a debian /*ux based os on the same
Mainboard is much faster than any *win.
Something like UDOO Board is up to the task and can

Just wondering how much a processor/memory is used by LMS? Will
upgrading motherboard, memory, etc/ make any difference to LMS? Meaning
if I go from single core to quad core processor or from 1Gb RAM to 16Gb
make much difference to how LMS operates? What is the sweet spot if
anyone knows?

Hi. I'm running Vortexbox on a DIY PC with an AMD Athlon processor and
1Gb RAM, so it's a Fedora 20 kernel and LMS 7.8. My library is about
1.4Tb on a 2Tb drive but that's probably not really pertinent to my
question. It's not that I think anything is necessarily slow, it's just
that I have

Even though LMS is single threaded, having at least two cores provides
the OS and other processes some breathing room. 2GB of RAM seems to be
plenty, even for my sizable collection.
The single biggest improvement I have seen is to replace the system disc

Based on the library size in TB I suspect you have a decent amount of
tracks and might be affected by this change if it succeeds.
