Takedown of pricey servers, streamers OCD HiFi guy

8 gb of memory and most any modern cpu will do the job just fine at least for cd resolution audio streaming. 

I was ripping and streaming on a core duo with 8 gigs of ram about 16 years ago.

So let me see if I get this right.  Computer grung is real but no one seems to be addressing it.  The most important part of this process is ripping.  The reason we used Plextor drives back in the day when they were top notch.

@rego you can argue all you want.  You don't need that much horse power.

@rego I’m not the one making the assertion. I’m reporting it. Your debate is with @mikepowellaudio 
I trust you understand that. Perhaps he’ll engage your points. Ok?

mike powell ocd guy is, as i said earlier --

heart in right place,
been in the game for some time,
