I would agree with this. I've got a 2GHz celeron with 768M of memory that cost me about £250 and it is supplying 3 clients from the slim server and running a couple of 15000+ page dynamic websites (java / mysql) as testing platforms for clients and there is never any problem unless the wireless network is clogged with other traffic. The web interface is occasionally slow to update, but has never interrupted the audio stream as a result. I've got 12,000 flac files currently being served up with at least one client using LAME to encode them on the way. Off topic: I am looking at making a web front end for the slim server that controls the box over the CLI using my application server (for examples of existing sites using this see www.fiennes.org). My primary motivation on this is to have an easier way of annotating information about the music using my CMS, but the performance will probably be slightly better than the existing perl engine. I'll let people know how this gets on if they are interested...
