Looking to set up my htpc system with 3 of these Baytrail 2820 NUCs or 847 NUCs. One will be the server running ServerWMC with Windows 7 and the other 2 will be xbmc clients at each of the TVs and they will run OpenELEC. All in theoretically in accordance with this thread:
XBMC/Windows Media Center/ServerWMC
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=193310
I was thinking for the Server running Windows that I would go with 4 GB of Ram and a 1TB HDD.
For the 2 clients I was thinking 2 GB RAM and 32GB mSATA SSD. Does the server machine also need one of these 32GB SSDs?
Will these serve my needs (watch and record live tv within xbmc, stream content via xbmc, whole home pvr)? Should I go 4GB RAM for the clients as the guide recommends? Are these 2 client NUCs overkill, or my server underkill? Thanks for any insight.
