If it will help you sleep better, do what Al Gore and others do: buy off your carbon sins with a donation to Green Peace. :) Thou shall be forgiven (with a big enough check). I run my entire networked music & video system, including three SB players, from a simple dual core laptop, with no issues. I have no clue what power draw the laptop is using but it can't be much worse (if at all) than a beefy NAS device. A NAS is basically a stripped down PC and I'd bet if you tried a PC/laptop with the same (lower) specs of your NAS device you would likely have the same issues you are experiencing now. The SB players & server software are more than capable of handling very large music collections, when paired with the appropriate hardware. :) -- toby10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66331 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
