hey i saw a server/workstation on the net which i'd maybe buy,so i'd like to know what do you think of her?!!
Is this a good configuration???
Mobo- Supermicro P4DCE+
- 2 × 2.0GHz P4 Xeon procesor, z novima hladilnikoma
- 2 × 256MB RIMM/RAMBUS/RDRAM (!)
- nVIDIA Quadro4 380XGL (nova!)
- SCSI RAID kontroler Intel SRCU31, 160MB/s, 128MB ECC memory,
suports RAID 0/1/4/5/10,
- 2 × 9GB SCSI disc HP, 10.000rpm, skonfigurirana v RAID 0 polje
- DVD-ROM Plextor PX-116A v črni barvi

Depends what you want it for. I personally wouldnt want it for anything as to me the technology in there is slightly old and low.

Only 512MB of RAM and 18GB of space.

I would wait for a 2nd opinion though.

Depends entirely on what you want to use it for and what price its going for. But as mc_bob point out, its not uber fast.

Hmmm. If its for server things, the fact that its not uber fast shouldn't matter. But it's limited in ramola and storage space

but coulden't i just put some other disk inside????
I would use this machine for normal things,....
would install XP pro on it and would use it for web browsing,some video encoding,picture editing,mp3 listening,...only those things i do now on my normal pc!!
well in my eyes it doesnt cost that much ca.467 Euro,... is that to much!!

Yes you could upgrade the disks (SCSI ones though, tend to cost more..). The RDRAM memory is not cheap or common now either. Many major suppliers don't sell it at all.

Yes you could install XP Pro on it (but not XP Home I believe). I'm sure you could build something with current components that would offer better performance and certainly more storage for similar money though.

would a pc with an E6300 be better,than this 2x 2Ghz Xeon????

 

[Justintime]

lol yes. You're comparing 2 cpus based on Netburst to a Core 2 cpu thats not even far back in MHz speed, it'll be severly owned when it comes to cpu power and for what you intend to use it for.

Well for £316ish its not too bad, but I would stretch my budget a bit and get a conroe based computer tbh. The main thing is this computer is likely to be hard(er) to upgrade etc, so in the longer run a standard non server machine would make better sense.

ok thanks,...so i'll go for a normal pc!!
