But why would you need that CPU power? SB Radio contains an armv5 single core CPU and I can't really be bothered to check the speed right now but it won't be more than 1MHz. SB Touch is armv6 but it runs the same armv5 compiled code (except for the proprietary hardware driver stuff of course). Both will connect happily on 802.11g wifi that has a theoretical max of 54Mbit but in real life probably will be closer to 20Mbit. The only real reason why you'd need a fast CPU to run LMS is because by default it is (or at least used to be) set to transcode all files to uncompressed streaming and that will quickly get you into trouble with multiple players. But it doesn't have to, because all the players will happily do the transcoding of mp3, flac and ogg themselves with the added bonus of less data running over the wire. In fact I even save on CPU power by running the streams over an unencrypted wifi, AC/DC is not exactly sensitive data... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gordonb3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71050 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115002 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
