Cost-wise, consider a dual-core AMD X2 system. If you have a little more funds, the 5140 or 5150 Xeons are well cached chips for the money. Either way, get a dual-CPU mainboard that is one-CPU capable so that you can drop in an "upgrade" chip later as CPU demand increases. (Trust me, it will..)
Keep in mind that each client IP will take a Windows user license if you plan on serving files via sharing. The max connections/licenses, if I'm not mistaken, is still 10 for non-server versions of Windows. Linux would be a better fit all around for a server, but that's my opinion. I have 4 Debian boxen and one RHEL box running servers here. ------------------------------------------- Glen Batchelor IT Director All-Spec Industries phone: (910) 332-0424 fax: (910) 763-5664 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------- www.allspec.com ------------------------------------------- > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:owner-u2- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of MAJ Programming > Sent: Wednesday, June 13, 2007 9:17 AM > To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org > Subject: [U2] New UV system > > All: > > I have a client running UV on SCO on a 486/Pentium-1 looking box.
