Hey Guys,
I have a freeNAS-Sys that is currently running based on a AMD E-350. Only when sabnzbd+ and sickbeard are both processing downloads it gets a little slow - meaning: Forget about accessing anything on the smb shares ... but, I don't really mind because that case only happens on a very rare basis.
So now, I'm planning on building a xbmc box as a media-client because I did get my hands on a Intel Celeron G530 plus mITX board. That got me wondering about what hardware is suited better for each task. Should the G530 go into the xbmc-box or into the freeNAS-Sys? I am currently leaning towards using the Celeron for freeNAS.
But still - some opinions or experiences on that would be great ... well, and maybe someone could elaborate about whats the best way to do a MB/CPU-switch on a "running" freeNAS-System.
