Who's running Sage with most economical computer?
I'll start it off:
Sage 4 running on a Pentium III 733 with 256 MB Ram.... This is an old computer of mine that was just laying around, I'm very happy to be getting use of it again!

I forget who, but somebody in here was running Sage on a single box, meaning no server-client setup, with a 366mhz Celeron a while back.

This promises to be an interesting thread!
I'd suggest asking for two more details: is HDTV being recorded/watched, and what make/model of video card?

Not for the one I was talking about. This was a strictly SDTV box.

I have a Sage server running WindowsXP, but it's only used for recording. Oh and I also run ShowAnalyzer on it. Suprisingly it's fast enough to do commercial detection on a single show in "real time".

I used to run a single box 766 mhz celeron, 384 mb of ram running windows xp pro, 2 avermedia m150's outputting to a pci fx5200 w/ only an 80 gig hard drive, no optical drives whatsoever with an old ati remote wonder. It was pretty ch01ap to throw together. Most expensive parts were the mpeg encoders!

For about the first six months of using Sage I was running it on a pair of mostly stock Fujitsu Activy 300s. Altho I was cheating since it has an integrated Netstream 2000 TV. They work very well as long as you don't expect much from imported video playback or drivers. They've since been upgraded to their limits and run as spare clients.
