FWIW; I forgot to add that I've just recently ordered more RAM for this BPC-server. I'm creasing the RAM from 2GB to 4GB. We'll see if there are any speed increases overall. I'll report back later. TTFN. The BPC-server is a dual-xeon@2,6GHz with a 3x500GB raid5-array. The array is a software one. I've had good experiences with those. -- /Sorin |
