I'm preparing to add HS to my setup. I'm in the process of setting up an MCE machine (2.6MHZ P4 w/1GB RAM) but also have an older 2000 server machine (PIII 384MB RAM or something like that) as a central server with music, photos, software, etc for machines on the network.
Was just curious as to the experiences here on the horsepower required. Sounds like I have three choices:
1. Put it on the MCE machine (assuming this would even work)
2. Put it on the existing server
3. Put it on a new dedicated machine
I could test it out once I get it, but somehow I suspect this has been encountered and there are some opinions on this from direct experience...
I don't have a problem running two, but I figured if the newer machine would cover it why have two machines running 24/7 (especially since the older one I have is just that: older).
