I find RAM is a lot cheaper than a SCSI setup. I just stuck enough RAM in the box so that the entire map rotation is in cache. Except for logging, which is buffered, the disk light never blinks after the first full cycle, and those few blinks are so brief they are difficult to see. Nobody can tell the difference on the server. :-) -Mad _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
