Again, thank you. Sounds as if a new MB will not hurt, but it may not
make much difference either to standard server operations. More memory

Hi. I'm running Vortexbox on a DIY PC with an AMD Athlon processor and

Just wondering how much a processor/memory is used by LMS? Will

anyone knows?

Exactly. That project is interesting but it really is recreating the
wheel and at a much higher projected cost.

If it's for fun, go ahead and recreate the wheel. But I say once more,
the VAMP with a good USB DAC does exactly what this thread seems to
want, with the exception of IR control (but why you'd even want that

Thanks for the feedback. Yea, my music server is in a completely

that room is the only option unless I want to engage in major wall

Well, my old favorite SB3 just started its death throes today (failure

IMO it needs digital outputs and analog line level outs. Until it does,
it's just a Sonos knock-off, not a high-end music player solution.

Two reasons why I chose a Squeezebox 3 over the Roku 1000: the
Squeezebox includes a far better built-in DAC, and the display is much
easier to read from across the room. Plus the design of the SB3 is
aesthetically simply beautiful... oh, and it includes built-in Pandora
