Its not that I really have a choice, I do not have a spare mac around, so I need new hardware no matter what. To move OS's on a live mysql server and then get the new one up, and not have downtime, would be a bear. I am also running an older version of mysql, and the new version is going to require a few hundres sites have the timestamp() functions updated, since I am pretty sure there was a change in mysql that makes me need to do that. I can up my budget to 3000.00 if it helps, that's pushing it though. I really want 1U or slightly larger, I don't want a tower as I have a rack and they just waste space, I have 42U and a tower takes up 6 of those. Rack mounts are the way to go, however, apples xserve kit seems pricey compared to the offerings from others. -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Scott Haneda Tel: 415.898.2602 <http://www.newgeo.com> Novato, CA U.S.A. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
