Well, in any case, you need much better hardware than you're looking at. I mean, dual Xeon with 2 Gig isn't hardly big iron. Why don't you try benchmarking on a honking big box -- IBM P690 or a big Sun (I'd counsel against that, though) or something like that? Or even some Opterons. Dual Xeon is probablt your very worst choice at the moment. A -- Andrew Sullivan | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Information security isn't a technological problem.
