I'm using Sage accounts, used by 2 users currently and also has another system logged on at all times to accept orders / update stock to a website.

Now I know Sage isn't the fastest bit of kit around and seems to run very slow over the network - Sage is stored on a celeron machine with a 40gb IDE HDD - so I'm guessing the slow speed is due to it being an old PC, and a slow HDD.

I'm thinking of putting something together , which will improve Sage performance by quite a bit, not slow like its running now - would something like a C2D with 2 x 30gb SSDs in RAID 0 show a significant increase in Sage performance?

I've tried doing some googling,but unforunately it seems enthusiasts don't really build PCs/install SSDs so they can benchmark Sage performance :p

Thanks in advance :)
 
Ok thanks - in that case I'll pick up a fast HDD such as velociraptor and use my existing PC

C2D E6300 , 965P-DS3P, 2GB RAM

Easy solution :) Hope this performs a little better!

I wouldnt waste the money on a velociraptor.

Pick up an HP ML115 quad core for £150, another 1gb RAM and RAID1 2 x 160gb HDDs

The machine storing the Sage install is actually also one of the Sage users and will have office etc. on - would a ML115 do OK for that too? Seems good for the price.
