I run the frontend on the xbox (p3 733Mhz. I can tell you that it is a slow. Navigating the menus takes a few secs. Booting takes forever. However, once the stream starts, it is okay.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

Hi all.<br><br>I was doing some work at a customers place (i am a computer tech) and i noticed a P3 600 with a mini atx board attached sitting unused in a a box.<br><br>Coincidentally they have asked me to clean out the server room and throw away all the crap.
<br><br>So my question is this.<br>Is a P3 600 fast enough to run a V.20 frontend with open GL? <br><br>The reason I ask is that i could stuff that into a pretty box (WAF goes up !!!) and stuff a big Heat sink onto it, and probably net boot it from the server or something. Maybe get all spiffy and set the server and frontend to shutdown / hibernate when they are not being used.
<br><br>I have searched the list using the following terms "frontend specs", "minimum requirements" etc and turned up a heap for results from people using current components, but nothing in the era of this beasty.
<br><br>Now, I will max out the memory on the board (don't know what is will take but suspect 512 mb max)and stuff an FX5500 or similar onto it.<br><br>I currently run a P31gig 1gb ram and dual Digaital tv cards, so it seems like it will run.
<br><br>Anyone have any comments?<br><span class="sg"><br>Chris<br><br>
