DigitalMedia 6 Posted May 12, 2021 Author Share Posted May 12, 2021 I would think this mobo is a great deal also can use up to 64gigs of ram https://www.newegg.com/asus-prime-a320i-k/p/N82E16813119200 If someone could find a better deal im open to any help.

Carlo 4330 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Hi, Just curious, but is this strictly for Emby or do you plan on running a lot of other things on this box? Android would not be my first choice for my main Emby installation (just me) but especially on a PC. Android would probably be my last choice as I'd go windows, linux, synology close, true nas or similar first. Why would you want to run Android on a PC, besides testing apps?

DigitalMedia 6 Posted May 12, 2021 Author Share Posted May 12, 2021 I thought it may be faster, I have a windows 7 disk I could install but need help in building a pc. The only thing it would be running is emby and a vpn that is shared through a router connected to it as a wifi repeater sharing the vpn to router via ethernet port. I like connecting all my devices this way instead of a ddwrt router running vpn as ive only had issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Likely no chance it would be faster than Windows or Linux which are tried and true OSes for PCs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
