I don't see the advantage of EEC anymore really
standard ram seems good enough?

Thats a very interesting and potentially painful statement, i certainly wouldn't want to have to recover a server specially not one running directory/database services because of a corruption caused by a memory error which ive seen many times before.

The consumer market is a different story, performance tends to out weigh resilience.

only database I can see myself running is AD/exchange. and tbh it's hard enough getting the boss to agree to getting a server (still won't) without adding cost.

J1nxy · 30 Sep 2008 at 13:49

a few extra pounds compared to loosing the ad/exchange...small price.

VeNT · 30 Sep 2008 at 13:57

well the total cost for a server is a small price to pay for the extra security, but they won't.

Any ideas why the price has gone up, was it just an intro / oversupply issue? Should have bought one or 2 when I could.

VeNT · 30 Sep 2008 at 18:50

just an offer
was crasy good to start with as they had the card with them too (remote access to everything thingy)

Zaf · 30 Sep 2008 at 20:47

I got 5 ML110s when they were £99 still got one sitting around doing nothing

AndyC · 1 Oct 2008 at 07:21

Sure they will drop again, sure last year they did a similar offer with the ML110 G4's,

I was just about to buy a(nother) ML110 from the last place at discounted price, missed it now. Very gutted

wanna sell it for £99

J1nxy · 3 Oct 2008 at 09:54

I'd guess well see the same happen price wise, either when the model get replaced or the end of quarter/half/year comes round

You can have it for £300

VeNT · 6 Oct 2008 at 10:14

lol

think I'll spec up the next server to be a £1k beast and see how he likes that.

VeNT · 6 Oct 2008 at 10:41

interesting that there is a site selling SBS2008 and CALs atm
prices are 452.97 + Vat for standard server (+5 user cals) and 175 + VAT for 5 user cals
very interesting

I have seen some comments where it runs the fans all the time, unlike Dells are temp controlled

Just to add, this does happen and its either you dont' have the latest product support pack or it can be that you have a second psu installed but no power into it

CPU Upgrade

Hello All,

I have a ml115 g1. Is it possible to upgrade it to a quad core?

Thanks

AFAIK, no you can't do this as the CPU are not available as an option only through Configure to Order via something like Top Config.

brendy · 14 Nov 2008 at 15:01

you can buy quadcore g5 ml115 id say its not worth the time when you could buy the new server for the same price and less hassle of a g1.
