Tuning your powerful server won't make much difference unless you believe the less it does creates less noise/crap on the Ethernet network. If that is the case you might be better off, putting a quality dedicated wireless bridge in place to physically disconnect the touch from your Ethernet network. Changing priorities and reducing processes on the server that isn't strained in the least bit won't make the 1s and 0s more or less correct. .02 -- Jeff Flowerday ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jeff Flowerday's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15883 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91322 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
