Re: How fast is the 4200?
The newer ones have gigabit, so that could make some difference
And the newer ones have more ram, making it more usable
The Guardian OS based versions are supposed to be higher preformance, but only having experience of a 2200, i can't really say
If it is only databases, you could just get a reasonable spec PC, make sure there is a reasonable amount of Ram (2GB or so), stick linux on it, or even Windows XP.....
