Hey fellas,
I was wondering about what rig and OS + softwares would be the absolute minimum for the following tasks:
- browsing the web relatively comfortably (maybe 480p YouTube would be nice too, but it's not THAT of a big deal, if the Flash plugin is not working, if otherwise I can use Google and various forums, maybe facebook too)
- able to run some old Skype build with audio call
- IRC
- ICQ
- listening to various bitrate *.mp3s
- watching DivX / XviD
- seeding with a torrent client (older Azureus or uTorrent build preferably)
Well I understand that the main bottlenecks could be 480p YouTube, DivX and torrents, so let's seperate the needs for two rigs and let's see how they compete with each other; so one rig for everything that was mentioned above, and one rig without YouTube, torrent and DivX.
As an additional guideline, I have a pure 5 mbit ADSL connection, so no telephone line (or TV subscription) at all.
Let's discuss. : )
