| 322649 | 2005-02-08 02:02:00 | Hey, I have a server box setup in my house. It has the following specs Semperon 2500+ CPU MSI Motherboard 256mb ram (64m shared for video) 1 x 160GB Hard Drive 1 x 80GB Hard Drive Uses onboard video It is currently running Fedora Core 2 (GUI is installed as well) Runs Samba so that 2-4 machines can access Samba Shares and VSFTPD for FTP file transfer. Its other main use is to stream video across my lan (in my house and to my mate 800m away via our Wireless Link) Anyways Ram is pretty cheap right now, so is it going to be worth me buying an extra stick of 512mb? or maybe just 256?. I may be doing some Xvid encoding on it soon as well. Cheers, Ash |

It'll still work fine, however you may want to renice the mencoder process if you experience lag when connecting. You shouldnt though. Tried VideoLAN Client? |
