Processor is fine. I'm tapping this on a P200. It's my server. It's a
domain controller (win2k), Exchange server, and web server all rolled into
one. Processing power is never an issue. Old noisy SCSI disks and a lack
of memory are my problems. To solve both problems, I'm moving to a
laptop-based server solution.
Cheers,
Andy
