Re: [opensuse] Best CPU for OSS 10.3 Small Home Network Server

Hi,
You should really consider Anders advice.
If your MB/CPU are in good condition, and your RAM is enough, your should consider only increasing the number of disks ( should upgrade to SATA ) and build your system on a soft RAID device. The HD will serve you on a future upgrade but, if you need to acquire RAM, then you should put your money in a new machine. Currently I own a P4 1.7 and I'm not considering upgrading... It has SuSE9.3 with 512MB of RAM and 4-40GB HD with a soft RAID-5. I use it for apache, mysql, subversion, mail-server, firewall, ntp, dhcp, router, Samba PDC, bind, ftp-server, cups server, hylafax, Xvnc for azureus with java and BOINC 24/7.
But, since you wanted an advice on a motherboard, pick either a chipset with sava-nv out Intel WITH (WITH) AHCI. Also go for a PCI Express board instead of an PCI/AGP one.

Hello All, Hi Uni :)
I am going to upgrade my home network server from a Pentium 4 S478 1.7 Mhz
to
a S775 MB with 1066 FSB.
I don't want to spend a lot of money. Is a Pentium D okay as a CPU for this or should I go with the next one up? Celeron not good either? It depends on what you will server. What is home network server do ?

I will be using it for storing and serving kids school projects, mysql, and my software Delphi 2006 source code. One partition is Windows XP (data only) and the rest of the system is OSS 10.1 and it is slow, quirky (was an upgrade from10.0). I plan on going to SATA drives soon, thus the mobo upgrade. Mobo os P4M800PRO-M v2.0

Thanks, I already have the mobo, thus the question about the CPU. It doesn't have a CPU. I have enough RAM to put 768 MB on it. I have a 160 GB IDE HD - which for now I'll keep. The CPU in there is a PIII 2.0 Celeron. -- Keith Boykin You are what you think - so always think positively! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
