Hi guys
Dual CPUs since I have an environment where you can see the difference with two. I have a web bbs system that does some intensive file searches, and a RAID IO makes a big difference there. Further, IIS, the ASP applications I have going, FTP, NNTP and other things all run much smoother with that 2nd CPU ready to kick in. And lots of RAM too.
My current server, as mentioned, is a dual Pentium Pro 200mhz system. Its been very impressive. In a day with Ghz being the standard, that little Dual PPro system fares well. When I had the Dual P3 800s going, that was GREAT to watch...then the random Blue Screens of Death, which were traced back to a defect in the Tyan Tiger motherboard.
So, I have a killer server case (on wheels, 8 fans...it sounds like an auxillary power unit to a jet!) and thinking about the pieces to put into it. I've been impressed with the Athlon systems we have here at work.
Thanks!
