[QUOTE="m0t0k0, post: 846613, member: 108642"] I went from an atom in a REVO to my i3 2100 and the difference was night and day. Everything is snappy and responsive (having an SSD makes a huge difference as well, so reused one from my atom build) If your only using it as a client and not gaming then I would not bother with the HD3000 as I have not encountered anything I cannot play. In fact the CPU alone of the 2100 can cope with anything anyway. But I still use [URL='https://www.team-mediaportal.com/extensions/video-audio/lav-filters']LAV audio filters[/URL] as this will happily off load the video onto the iGPU (in fact LAV is all you need unless you want to do some post processing) There is no need for loads of RAM 4GB is more than enough (W7 will run fine on 2GB) Just using 32bit OS is fine but if dont already own the OS there is no reason not to get 64bit A RAM disk can be very usefull for your Time shift drive as it has very low latency and high throughput. If you want to go down that route I would stick 8GB in your server and dedicate 6GBs to a RAM drive for your timeshift. Finding a free RAM drive program which supports drives over 4GBs may be tricky.
