Hi All, Yet another update. I setup my mini-itx system yesterday. A bit under $400 for a 1.5 C7 with 512MB Ram and 4 enet ports (3 gig, 1 10/100). On the performance front its total overkill as I pretty much figured it would be.
Load averages seem to stay around 0.1 even when maxing out at 15Mbps. CPU utilization is again no more then 20% or so. On my multiple torrents test I was getting about 9.6Mbps which I think is only due to Azureus being a hog and using up all the CPU on my client. The WRAP box was only giving me around 6.4Kbps and that was with the CPU pegged. So all in all not a bad upgrade, I wish there was something between the WRAP and this solution but I couldn't find it. I could've gone with a 1GHZ motherboard and saved $40 and still be way overpowered, but I figured 10% extra price for 50% performance boost was a good price/performance ratio. The only issue I had was I can't get the device to boot from a CF micro drive. It works fine on a CF flash drive using the same install method (using the install CD and a USB flash reader on a diff PC). Not sure what's going on but I had similar issues getting the WRAP box to boot from that same CF micro drive, so maybe its an issue with that. f I ever get around to it I'll grab a USB CD Rom and install directly on the mini-itx machine which might fix the issue. In case anyone is interested I got all the below parts for this. http://www.logicsupply.com/product_info.php/products_id/542 http://www.logicsupply.com/product_info.php/products_id/495 http://www.logicsupply.com/product_info.php/products_id/502 -- Paul Haddad ([EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
