server. Since our accounting software upgrade (accpac) we have been seeing some slow downs in accessing it over the network, an from what I can see it not a network/bandwidth issue nor a ram problem so im thinking it might be the ide harddrives an filesystem. also seem to have a slow backup backing up to dlt vs80 tape drive. Before the upgrade we were not experiencing this slowness in using accpac on same machine. Thanks.
Not to take this off-topic, but I'd make sure you understood what problem you were fixing first. Deciding where the bottleneck is (if there is one) shouldn't be hard with vmstat and iostat. For what it's worth, I've only used old 6xxx series, and have never had a problem. I wouldn't however buy them again due to their less than cooperative nature regarding other free projects. Chris
