    I want to turn an unused Seagate Mirra Personal Server into a music player to be connected to my TV and Stereo to replace a HUGE 300 disk changer.

    I cannot determine from the names of the various releases which one would be the correct choice since most listed appear to be designated to very specific PC's.

    I thought x86 was pretty generic?

    Here are the specs of the PC I want to try Android on as a music player.

    Note to above:  I have ordered 1GB of RAM for this so the small amount present will be upgraded within the week.
