Icecast - Feb 2005 - RealServer and Icecast

I now this may be a touchy subject, but I'll preface by saying that 
I'm trying to get away from Real Networks. Now that video is becoming 
a reality with Icecast, I want to make a slow transition from using 
RealServer to using Icecast. I have 20GBs of video content in Real 
format so I need to keep using the RealServer, but I want to start 
running the live audio stream with Icecast. Has anyone ever tried 
running RealServer and Icecast on the same server at the same time?

Here are my server specs:
Memory : 1GB DDR RAM
Hard Drive 1 : 40GB EIDE 
Processor : (US Only) Single AMD Athlon XP 2200+ 1.8 GHz
Operating System : Windows 2000

Thanks to all.

Hi:

I don't know what Realserver needs in terms of specs, but Icecast
doesn't
actually do any processing of streams, just serving, so its CPU overhead is 
extremely small.  Now, if you're needing to encode the live stream on the 
same box as well, that's a different story.

Icecast2 and Real/Helix Server can co-exist on the same computer provided 
there are no port conflicts, which by default, there are none.

I have a few test servers with this configuration working fine.
