If you really want to boost I/O, look into some of the good Opteron systems that use the nForce Professional chipsets, they have much better I/O than the comparable Intel x86 systems. Couple the good I/O with a PCI-X SCSI card and you'll be screaming. Just don't use any of the built-in Windows RAID abilities, they suck for performance. Also, you don't say how much load the server would be under. How many concurrent sessions would you expect to receive? Also, is your data mostly static or mostly dynamic? -- Damien McKenna - Web Developer - [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Limu Company - http://www.thelimucompany.com/ - 407-804-1014 #include <stdjoke.h> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:230133 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
