New setup i need some advice, i'm planning to buy a new computer. I'm planning for using it in my home network, as a email server, webserver and all that **** Ofcourse i will hook it up with 526Ram and 160Gb HD. But which is the best processor/mobo to run such a server. So should i take a p4 or a barton or something else to run 24/7 |
Most bang for the buck: nForce2/Athlon XP Tbred B CPU Most Power for the buck: nForce3/Athlon 64 in case everything is left running at default in my humble opinion |
and if you want some overclocking p4, on stock speeds it's not super fast, but almost every 2.6/2.6 C makes it to more then 3.2 GHz. And then it's fast :) |
If you will really only use it for email/file/webserver, you don't need a fast computer, but a good NIC and storage system. A cheap, linux compatible amd mobo with a xp2000+ should be more than enough. Tip: sis linux support is unexisting, nvidia support is mediocre and via support is good. |
Webserver: is he gonna serve dynamic (php?) pages with DB backend? I think a simple VIAbased motherboard with a XP2000/D1600 will serve all your needs.. And I would go RAID1 (mirror).. (I'm using a P2 350, 512MB RAM, RAID1 40GB array, and it serves all my needs..) |
