RAID is
I was in the same predicament as the OP, with a P3/500 showing it's age
with frequent "rebuffering" messages when the machine was under load.
I considered the Atom. It's great little CPU, but I had a difficult
time finding single/dual-core Mobo's with more than a couple of SATA
connectors.
If yo
I've been using a single core Atom for about a year now. It's more or
less the same MSI Wind barebones box that the Vortexbox Appliance is
based on. It works fine for serving music to 7-8 SBs -- I haven't tried
more than that yet. Still, the dual core is probably only $10-15 more,
so I would go fo
I've been using a single core Atom for my server for several months
now.
I have not experienced any performance problems with several separate
streams being served simultaneously.

Specifically I'm wondering if single versus dual core Atom makes any
difference in performance. Given that the Vortexbox appliances use the
single core version, my guess is no. Just wondering if anyone has played
with both.

I put together a box earlier this year. It was a barbone system I put
together more out of curiosity and price than anything else. It's a
dual core Atom 330 and it works quite well serving up my 5 Squeezeboxen.
I ddin't intend to use it as my Squeezebox Server, but it just blew
away my aging Dua
I just built a server to run Vortexbox using a Foxconn case with a dual
core Atom 330. It works very well. I don't know if the dual core
processor is necessary, but it was only a few dollars more.

I'm making plans for a new (dedicated) Squeezebox Server rig, and am
strongly considering the VortexBox solution. I'm wondering if there
would be any benefit from putting something together with a dual core
Atom, like the new D510. Or is that just a waste of money and
electricity?
