Second box for helping with encoding
Posted: Mon May 22, 2023 2:37 pm
I used to have a computer for encoding and used a second one to help and it helped a lot. What I do remember was with a gigabit ethernet there is no point in using more than two as it saturates the network, think this is correct.
I'm not thinking of doing this again and thinking of getting a cheap used computer for this. Seen an 'ACER Veriton X6610G SFF Core i7-2600 3.4hz 8GB 500GB COMPUTER' for £60b and that sounds ideal. It has no discrete GPU but don't think this is a big deal.
What do people think, does this sound like a good plan?
I actually have an i3 and an old AMD-based PC with a GPU lying around but figure the single i7 would be better.
