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.
