[QUOTE="etheesdad, post: 420513, member: 84335"] It will be fine on that. I ran it on a single core p4 2.4mhz and it was zippy. I dont think you'll have any interface-speed issues on the 330 Atom. more here [url]https://www.team-mediaportal.com/manual/GeneralRequirements#HardwareRequirements[/url] I was curious about the RAM question so fired up MP on my single seat installation (XpSP3) with TVserver recording one show in HD *and* a 1080 video playing simutaneously, I had 1.24GB free on my machine with 2GB physical ram. (x2 5200) Just to spice things up, I added an H.264 encode of a 5gb TS file using MCEBuddy top the above equation, which made no impact on the amount of ram useage (interesting, eh!) [MCEBuddy was running idle in original test] when I was running it on the P4 I ran single-seat with 1GB and it was perfectly OK. (I no longer have that machine so cant give you the figures, but I can tell you the machine was fine and dandy for any SD task) Personally, I think that 1GB is ample as a starting point for either Server or Client if they are dedicated machines (ie you dont need them to run anything on them thats more ram-hungry than MP). There is an issue at present with running MP on windows 7. A bug fix is being worked on but right now its not straightforward to install it and have it run reliably. Ive used XP and Vista for my HTPC and prefer XP. "Cut-down" copies of XP are not recommended (ie, mini-xp, micro-xp and ad-hoc n-lited editions, as it can cause issues that are difficult to resolve - ie "unique" problems that fixes on full-installs would otherwise address) What do you plan to use as a low-power video card in the clients? Seems to me this will be a tricky aspect in terms of keeping power consumption down....? The low-power HTPC setup is an interesting project. Please post details and photos when youre done - Im sure other members (including me!) would be interested to see how this is done! :) :) :) [/QUOTE]
