Re: Dell £99 server offer on again until tomorrow

[Marc Fuller <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It depends on what card you have but if I remember correctly the
minimum
spec for the good Geovision card is a P4 2.4 Ghz with 512DDR2 Dual
Channel RAM. I think the only thing it might struggle on is the graphics
card, but that's only because I have no idea what the graphics card is
like on that server.

My current Geovision server is below the recommended spec, but still
copes ok. I think this Dell server should be able to run it no problem
as long as the memory is Dual Channel.

Cheers

Marc
