Well, first, that is what I told them BUT keep in mind that the office pays for the equipment and not me. For now, there are only about 8 users on it. When they start complaining, things will probably change.

I think right now the difference between AMD and Intel is nothing more then a mud slinging war. Performance is going to be directly related to hard drive throughput, total ram, ram throughput and a variety of other variables.

Very true, but what about front bus speeds?

That too.

I run everything off of my Poweredge server. I only recently moved my webpage from this to proper hosting.

It has the following specs

Poweredge 1400sc
Dual 933 mhz P-III processors
1152 megs of PC-133 ECC RAM
1X 9.1 gig 10k rpm SCSI
2X 36.4 gig 10k rpm SCSI
Windows 2000 Server (Legit)


I used to use this as my server, but I primarily use it for complex CAD and mapping software. I plan on upgrading soon to 73 gig 10k rpm Ultra-320 SCSI disks, and a single channel RAID controller.

My main file/webserver:

sempron 2600 (s754)
120 gig wd hdd
512 megs corsair vs ram
nice little micro-atx gigabyte mobo with integrated graphics

It's all in a tiny microatx case, i'm tri-booting freebsd/suse 9.3/xp

Thats better than my friggin Main machine.

That would have been better then my main box as of a couple a weeks ago, but thanks to a forced upgrade, that's no longer the case.

Okay, it's time to chime in...

I have a 4U 6 System server - it is 6 separate systems in one box each system has:

1x P3 933 CPU
1GB PC 133 SDRAM
1 36GB UW/SCSI
2 10/100 NIC

I'm still rebuilding it and not sure how it will be deployed - they will probably cluster for Magrathea. One or two will get set aside as router/firewall and DNS services...but until then I'm still running...

Ok, on monday my setups will consist of the following providing all the parts I receive are not defective and installation goes well.


Pentium 233MHz
1.2 GB HDD
49MB RAM
OS is Windows 98
Function: Print Server

Pentium II 350 MHz
40 GB HDD
256MB RAM
OS is Windows NT 4.0
Function: file server

Pentium 4 2.8 GHz (oced to 3.4)
200GB and 160GB HDD (Going to upgrade to 2x WD 74GB Raptors 10k RPM in RAID 1)
1 GB RAM
OS: linux of sorts
Function: Game server

Constructing:

Pentium III 1000MHz (currently have)
80 GB HDD (currently has but is going to inherit the 200 and the 160 GB drives)
1.5GB RAM (currently have 512)
Needs motherboard
OS is Windows 2kPro
Function: Replacement File server

Web server

Pentium III 430mhz
256mb of ram
10gb HDD
80gb HDD
OS - win XP pro

It does the job alright, but I think i'll upgrade to a dedicated system soon.

It's not to powerful but it works.

P3 500Mhz
128Mb Ram (i tryed adding some more, i had 2 256Mb sticks. But the mobo can't handle it.)
20Gb HDD (OS Drive)
80Gb HDD (File drive)
20Gb HDD (Web Server Drive)

Windows Server 2003
Apache 1.3
PHP 4
MYSQL 4.1


I use it as a file/print/web server. It works ok right for now but i want to get a better system to use for it, something newer and with a little more storage. Not that i need much i got dail up so i'm not downloading to much. It's sad i got a server form work, but the mobo was trashed. It sucked cause it was a dual p3 733mhz with 1GB Ram, i have the hard drives out of it (4 120G.

Webbox (ftp + html, MySQL)

PII 333Mhz
256mb
2X 18gig SCSI drive with Adaptec controller in morror
Redhat

Uptime : 5 months
Fast and stable. Yay.

I'm amazed that 2k3 server actually runs on that machine.

lol, me to but you know what it runs great. Still plenty of memory left, 50Mb free as i type this. It's not under much load, just me testing and printing really.

Consider popping in a 9$ stick of 128mb ram and slapping Solaris on that and taking it for a run.

By the end of the week I'll have the old router ( P-III 450MHz, 288mb RAM, 4 and 10gig HDDs ) up as a test server... Upgrading the router VMs and moving them to the download computer (after buying 256mb more ram for it)
