Not that it's wrong or a terrible idea, just that these services tend to wrestle each other for performance and that can strangle a machine under certain circumstances or generate a lot of power consumption.
If you have the required soldering skills and you're married to Windows I'd go for the N300.
interesting take thanks, yeah i was thinking i just migrate my media server to N300, and then use the old machine for games server as I currently do occasionally with not too much concern. I don't quite get what you mean by having the required soldering skills are you suggesting upgrading the soldered ram? I thought about it but for the cost and effort i don't think it makes sense here.
I picked up the N300 before it went out of stock since the N305 and N300 were seemingly discontinued a few months ago. Figured the extra cpu power from the extra 4 Ecores over the N100 and the extra 8 gpu compute units might just give me another transcode or two if i need it.
What OS would you suggest? It came with windows 11 home (i guess i should have listed this earlier but the device is the Minisforum Un300 not sure if i can put the link or not) regardless i was going to reinstall the OS not necessarily trusting the vendor os version.
