[QUOTE="Ferdinando Simonetti, post: 1157245, member: 155722"] Thanks Lehmden! I was misled by [URL='http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/511/Intel_Core_2_Duo_E7500_vs_Intel_Core_i5_i5-4570.html']this CPU-World comparison[/URL] stating that i5 needs more power than Core2Duo: however, your "real-world" testimony is definitely something worth to think about. Actually, the fact that the Scheduler is part of the TV Server component will allow me to collapse "sleep and awake" operations on a single machine (without the additional overhead of a SQL server instance, if MP2 is used). Speaking about low-consumption machines, I already own two Atom N270 - 1Gb RAM machines in addition of the i5 "main": assuming that my recording needs are pretty basic (one TV show on all Saturdays, one all Sundays, some recording now-and-then), do you think it's possible to hook one of them to an USB drive and use it with MP2 as TV-Server while dedicating more powerful machines to MP2 Client role? Thanks a lot anyway! [/QUOTE]
