Folks, Not quite on the topic of home-brew quad cores, I've been looking at the Dell PowerEdge T110 or maybe the T310 (hoping for a special for Cyber Monday)
http://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/poweredge-t110?c=us&l=en&s=bsd&cs=04 http://www.dell.com/us/en/business/servers/server-poweredge-t310/pd.aspx?refid=server-poweredge-t310&s=bsd&cs=04 People here have knocked good sense into me before w/r/t hardware, and I'm hoping y'all can do the same if needed with respect to these options. But for now, I'm a little tired of running low on memory every time I have more than a couple of VMware systems going. My current system (an eBay home brew - is coming up on 5 years) is limited to 2GB. Yup, the RAM for such servers is more expensive, but perhaps c'est la vie w/r/t servers? I may need to experiment with some VMware ESXi, and appreciate the bare metal capabilities, so I have little confidence in my ability to set up a home brew with such compatibility. I also appreciate the no-OS options for these systems, along with the known compatibility with the standard Linux server OSes. Your comments will be appreciated. Thanks, Mike _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
