My home server is an Athlon Xp2400+ with 512 or RAM and 4HDD and power consumption in normal case (downloading, an IRC client and remote desktop used) is ~135W
yup the AthlonXP CPUs needed more power than A64.My home server is an Athlon Xp2400+ with 512 or RAM and 4HDD and power consumption in normal case (downloading, an IRC client and remote desktop used) is ~135W
Would there be any significant benifit from setting up RAID using an external NAS that supports RAID (like a Buffalo Terra Station) as aposed to a Windows XP Pro or Server 2k3 computer with hardware RAID configured? (using RAID controller card)
What would be the difference between time-shifting an MPEG2 SD stream and playback of an MPEG2 HD stream over the network?
And what good will an ATM card do for video streaming?

Hi all I was wondering if the RSTP protocol implementation used by the new TvEngine was custom written or using somesort of library?
It is correct use SQL Express because it's easy to integrate. Nevertheless would it make more sense in my opinion to use a well documented SQL Abstract Layer and support therefore a kind of Plug In support on the server side from beginning on. Personally I think it's better to use another month or two for development instead of risking architectural design flaws which afterwards have to compensated by more and more debugging and patching. I don't know what kind of API you are using right now to talk to the SQL side of Media portal, but I hope that you only use some kind of standart ANSI SQL. In doing so even the later on support for the "rest" of the database stuff is easier to integrate in one - maybe - dedicated SQL-Server and not needing support for more database engines.
Just my two cent
