I get no skips in normal usage -
I'd second the 600mhz route. Running SuSE linux with 512mb. Web
interface is a little slow but other than that it works just fine. FWIW
I'm running 4 players off it too with no real problems. On the SB2 I
don't even get stuttering during scanning as the buffer is so big.
