Interesting question. I would think that the gist of it would be, "On one server computer, how much CPU and memory can you throw at it before the SlimServer software cannot make any more use of the incremental horsepower?" If the constraint is really the hardware rather than the software, then one could scale as much as current hardware capabilities allow under a given budget. Of course, multiple networks might be required to provide the necessary bandwidth. Perhaps one of the developers could chime in on this. -- jeffmeh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jeffmeh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3986 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41937 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
