[QUOTE="JSchuricht, post: 363644, member: 87223"] I just don't like waiting around on slow systems.:D It is also the reliability factor, I generally have less headaches when running quality hardware. My old server was a dual 1GHz PIII running on a Supermicro 370DE6 w/ 8 120GB Westerndigital SE drives. It served me for many years, running 24/7 but it was just a dog. 64/33 bus for the RAID controller and 64/66 for the dual port Pro 1000 NIC and the best I could sustain was 30MB/s over TCPIP. With the new server, I can max out the bonded Gigabit NIC's. Space has always been an issue for me, currently I have just under 1TB free on the new system and I haven't even started to rip my 3000 DVD's. True, 8x 2.5GHz cores @ 3.0GHz and support for 128GB RAM is a bit overkill for a server primarily used for storage, but I shouldn't be running into any major bottlenecks with speed for a few years. It's not a total waste tho, I am managing over a 9000 RAC on SETI from just the server. [/QUOTE]
