I remember 286 and XT's and they were a marvel then. Since every time qa new processor comes out Microsoft find new ways of making them slower lol. Interesting on the quads. It looks like a high end dual is best. But linux is not an option. As this is just serving data then 64 bit is an option. At least 64 bit can use memory. Maybe 2009 server will be an option. Anyone using such a setup for VFP data serving? Al
-----Original Message----- Back when I was in the business we used 386sx with 8 meg on DOS or maybe Netware if they wanted to pay for it, but I don't see that helping you now. Just tossing your terms into google I am getting 64 bit on everything. I guess that is a starting point. Then RAID, error detection and correction, hot swapping and dare I say it, Linux. If you ignore the reference to Dell, maybe this article about duals beating quads? Back in the day the server didn't need to be the fastest, maybe speed is still detrimental? Seems contradictory, but . . . http://www.anandtech.com/show/3648/xeon-7500-dell-r810 -- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/004001caf1bd$8a391470$9eab3d...@com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
