hi all,
OK, a client owns a "nudie" club so he uses a slow laptop w/XP and Winamp to store a song collection of 5000 mp3 files. He then simply outputs the playback through the club's sound-system. On to my question
I would like to know, since all the music files combined total over 20Gb, is it going to make a difference installling 512Mb of RAM as opposed to 1Gb? I mean, the program can't obviously load all your music files into the system memory to start off with plus you're only playing a track at a time and there may be ~20 songs in que(i know this is spelled incorrectly, forgive me)
Lastly, this laptop will be replaced by a desktop system, hence the reason for the RAM size question and because i don't know anything about Winamp or working w/ lg. song file collections. Ohhh, i almost forgot, 256Mb is the amount of RAM on the laptop along w/ a 1.3GHz Celeron cpu. SLOOOOWWWWWWW!
PS the system isn't going to be used for any encoding.......just playing back tunes.
thanks so much for anybody's advice!
