Hi,
I've had a home network/server project on the go for a little while now. I've pretty much got the house wired with cat5 and have put together my server which is going into the loft along with the switch, ADSL router, etc. My initial plan was to have this solely as a file/mp3 server but after researching standalone mp3 streamers I came across the MVP and GBPVR and have liked what I read!
As my initial requirements for my home server weren't that huge (apart from big storage) the spec isn't fantastic - it's a PIII 933Mhz with 256Mb ram. Storage is taken care of by an Adaptec SATA Raid card and at the moment it's all running W2k3 Server but I can rebuild to XP quite easily if you think it'd be more compatible?
Basically, if I get a Nova-T PCI and an MVP, what sort of performance can I expect from GBPVR on this sort of kit? Apologies if this is a "length of a piece of string" question.
All help/comments appreciated,
Steve
