What system requirements for Steam Home Streaming?

[desura]

Anyone use it? Can say, an Atom processor handle the streaming? Or is this something that is aimed for people with laptops with i5 processors?

I haven't tried it with an Atom (keep in mind that Atom covers a large range of processors) processor, but the point of streaming is for it to not be resource intensive. All you're really doing is decoding a h.264 video stream, some audio stream and sending I/O related information.
