After years of smooth sailing, my company¹s dedicated FileMaker server has
become unstable.   It¹s a Toshiba self-contained unit that has been very
invisible in terms of administration‹it just works... until now.

I was going to install Server 5.5 on a Mac G4 1.25 GHz with 768 MB ram
running OSX 10.4.4  We have about 20 users in a mixed PC and Mac
environment.  I have some questions--

1. Will this G4 be okay or should I get an Xserve?
2. If I use this G4, should I install a SCSI UltraWide hard drive and
controller in the computer? (The ³FileMaker Server Best Practices² document
recommends at least a SCSI UltraWide drive and to partition the drive)
3. On the G4, should I be running OSX 10.4 server instead of just regular
10.4?  

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
