RE: OT: Minimum spec for MP3 server

["Phil Harris" <phil@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been running SlimServer on a P2 450 and it was fine - never broke into
a sweat. I have a Celeron 333 than handles SlimServer no problems either.
Currently running SlimServer on an AMD K6-2 450 (far more gutless than the
P2 450) and that seems to have no problem either.

Haven't tried iTunes though so maybe that needs a bit more horsepower...
