Squeezebox Server 7.5 + uTorrent

Post by michael123 »

Hi

I have now a huge (by physical dimensions) Windows7 server, with 2.13GHz Dual Core, 2GB RAM. Storage is Lime unRaid-based NAS

While uTorrent does not consume lot of resources, Squeezebox does.

I can see on my current Windows machine that CPU rises (for 5 sec max) to 100% when I change playlists, also when I play high-bitrate 192/24 files (e.g. from http://www.2l.no/hires/index.html), SC also runs SOX.exe in parallel to downsample content to 96/24. In my current machine that translates into ~10-12% CPU load. Memory consumption is about 1.2GB

Which configuration shall I buy?
With memory I am afraid I need 2GB, but fit-PC2i, is expensive..
I do not need Wi-Fi

Please advise, guys
thanks,
-- Michael
