If looking at device speeds, that would be the bottleneck. Since the motherboard has a SATA port, I'm planning on getting a SATA drive soon. That should help out. I just wanted to get everything up and running to try and I had a 40gig IDE drive available at the time.
Yeah that is what I was thinking too. I have ben testing with 3 copies of Winamp and it does not seem to put much of a load on the CPU but I would imagine the HD going thru a little stress since you are running 3 copies of Winamp and pulling 3 different songs.
I plan on having 6 zones but can't image using more that 2 at a time.
