StarWind Software

I have a WD DX4000 in production and although it's not in use I did notice it has StarWind iSCSI target available.

I also have a HP Microserver with 2GB RAM with WSSE R2 Essentials installed and I would like to have iSCSI target available on it as well but from what I've read the minimal configuration is Xeon with 4GB. The Microserver has a AMD Turion w/ 2GB and the WD has a Atom with 2GB ram - neither of which are anywhere close to those specs so is there a special version of the software or could I use the free version reliably or is this just a no go altogether?

Thanks!,

Assuming we're mostly used to feed shared storage to hypervisor these hardware specs are a bit on the slow side. But for Tier2 storage and small amount of VMs they should be fine.
