Default Re: Ben's new server (Project)

Hey ben a few questions to ponder for ya

1) What are you serving? For my music/movies/files fileserver I go with cheapo big capacity ide drives and I always have. When I hear one start to get noisy or when they get full then I just take the oldest and smallest one out and upgrade with the biggest one in my price point. Basically I feed my file server box $100 a year, which worked out to 60gb many years ago and is close to 500gb now. Also I'd wonder if the 74gb scsi is actually all that much faster than a new gen drive...

2) Is 4x256mb memory good with dual cpus on that board? It's been so long since I messed with Athlon XPs I honestly don't recall whether there'd be a big benefit to going to 2gb ram instead?

3) I think I have some junk er I mean quality vintage watercooling for you to finish it off with...
