That should be fine. Running Kodi as well should be fine. My massive<br>
MythTV database works well in just 8 Gibytes of RAM and an 8 year old<br>
quad core AMD. You can use htop to see how much RAM and swap space is<br>
being used and how much CPU. But you should check and make sure that<br>
you have not been sold hard drives that are shingled - that causes<br>
endless problems if you use them like normal drives.<br><br></blockquote><div>mine are Toshiba 1TB drives from May and Jan of 2013, their website admits L200 are shingled, I don't see L200 on mine, it looks like ACA100 (they're still installed) and have worked well for some time.</div><div>now my database is corrupt again, mythfilldatabase wont run, saying "Incorrect key file for table 'videosource'; try to repair it" I've run <a href="http://optimize_db.pl" target="_blank">optimize_db.pl</a>, I'malmost ready to get out a big hammer!</div><div><br></div><div>the screen went black last night as I was responding, I think I will rebuild from scratch, new database and all.</div></div></div>
