Thank you for the very clear description of exactly what a Vortexbox is. So depending the power of the computer or cpu (in the case of lower processing power device, I'm assuming that by "power" you are referring to processing, as opposed to electrical, power - and in many cases, both) on which Vortexbox is installed these Vortexboxes are as capable of a PC for running SBS. -- ralphpnj Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels -> Snatch -> The Transporter -> Transporter 2 (oops) -> Touch 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/jazzfann/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86896 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
