How are you satisfied with me6000 performance. I'm deciding whether to
purchase it for frontend only.

Some time ago there were stutters - so I wonder if things are better now ?

Also, I'd love to see Mythphone on this machine. Do you have any experience
with Mythphone ?

Will it run on me6000 ? Any chance to add it to GAR-minimyth ?

Thanks in advance,

Rob.
