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...

1) I run a small website, small forums (PHP+MySQL), files, music and video. I am going to grab up a 1 TB hard drive or a couple 400/500 drives when I get the money. The 74 was a typeo and probobly isn't faster than any modern 7,200 IDE drive considering it was made in 1998 and only 5,400 RPM
2) It should be all the ram I need. My last server only had 256 MB and the one before that had 512 MB. Also keep in mind back when this board was made, 512 MB was considered a lot of ram
3) Yep, I need em quick.
Hope I get some work done this weekend.
