Melco N1 wonky and MinimServer questions

[chilest]

Hi Everyone,
I am new to this forum and have a few rather ignorant questions. I own a Melco N1 server linked to a Berkeley Alpha DAC 2. I am wondering what are the advantages of loading MinimServer onto the Melco? Secondly, I noticed with the new FW upgrade, there is now an option to turn off the Twonky server. I am wondering what might be the advantage of turning this off?

Thanks for your insights.
Tom
