Hi I am going to build a server to use for multiple dlna movie streaming using ftp and backingup using acronis via samba. will a dual core lg115 2.8ghz cpu do a good job? also I will use windows storage pool
 
Solution
For streaming multiple movies, I would recommend something like the FX 6300/6350/8320/8350. They would be drastically better than any dual core. The bang for your buck is good there too.

The FX 6300 is significantly better than the dual core you're talking about...it's not even close, especially at multitasking.

Also, just because you've always had Intel does not make them better for your intended purpose and budget.
