I need a new server... and had a couple of questions..
1. What is the difference between a "server" and "tower"?
2. How important is it to use SCSI drives vs. the new ATA/100 drives, which
are much cheaper?
It comes down to choices.. I could go for:
dell poweredge server with dual 800mhz pentium III with dual 18gig SCSI
drives and 256 megs ram
or
a "clone" - tower case, high quality power supply, dual 1,000mhz pentium
III with dual 40 gig ATA/100 drives and 512 megs ram.
Is the "server" designation and scsi drives worth getting lower ram and
processor speed?
I will use it for cold fusion / web server and also real video server.
I will be using Windows 2000 server - I assume that you can mirror ATA/100
drives with windows 2000? No?
Nothing really mission critical on the server.
I will be using the old web server as a SQL server. (dell poweredge dual
600mhz / 256 megs ram / dual 9 gig scsi drives) and retiring the current
sql server (Dell poweredge single 300mhz, 128 megs ram:)
thanks
