[QUOTE="Anthony Vaughan, post: 1300276, member: 153283"] That's very interesting and very helpful. I think this matters because the price difference between 4GB + 128GB disk vs 8GB + 256GB disk is over £100; which really matters when buying multiple client machines. I suspect that switching from 32 bit Windows 7 to 64 bit would have made a difference, though. I think that was good move. BTW. my question was about using client machines solely for MP1; so your experience is particularly relevant to my question. My best guess is that, for running a MP1 client, chip speed and meeting a minimum 4GB of memory, as well as a good networking connection to the server, will be the most significant aspects of a client machine because the client machine processing is primarily video processing. Having said that, I suspect the computer will require enough memory to hold the currently showing video when replaying a video stored on a hard drive. Therefore, so long as you don't run anything else while running MP1, the process shouldn't use an inordinate amount of memory. I would be interested to hear any differing opinions though. [/QUOTE]
