Re: help with components for music server...

Dear god! What music player are you running that generates 5-6% activity on one processor and 25% on another? Seems outrageous to me. What are you using to measure activity?
My little SFF PC is running XP Pro on an EPIA SP8000 board, and does music fine, even when its supplying stuff to remote squeezeboxes. I'm using a NAS RAID for the music library and a USB audio output device, but that shouldn't make that much of a difference either way.
