At the last auction in early April, I picked up some even better computers for just $1 each. Now that I finally have some free time to work on them, I'm setting up one of these computers to serve as the next TRC/TFS server. Current: --- hyper-threaded 2.8GHz Tri-C --- 8kB L1 cache; 512kB L2 cache --- 2GB of 400MHz DDR RAM --- 40GB IDE/ATA HD --- (backup drive for file hosting not in use) New: --- hyper-threaded 3.0GHz Dell Optiplex GX280 --- 16kB L1 cache; 1024kB L2 cache --- 4GB of 533MHz DDR2 RAM --- 80GB SATA HD --- 80GB SATA HD backup for file hosting I just placed an order on eBay for 16 X 1GB PC2-6400 (800MHz) DDR2 RAM. Although these are overkill for what the motherboard can handle speed-wise, these will be used in the new computer(s) and should operate at 533MHz. It was quite a steal at just over $5.50 per stick. I'm also hoping that maybe this will solve some of the quirks of the current server, such as not being able to login remotely unless also logged in locally. Finally, I ended up with 4 of these GX280s for $1 a piece, so my BYOND game hosting services are going to be offloaded from the TFS/TRC server. (not that it couldn't handle it, but it will make things more secure.) _________________________________________ ScouSin: Damn you Gaku!
