You'll need this: http://support.ipswitch.com/kb/IM-19990908-DM01.htm
And something like this: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q257405 (a toy) Or http://www.cenatek.com/product_ramdisk.cfm (much better option) http://www.winsoft.sk/ramdisk.htm (also good I hear) Hope this helps, _M PS: There are a lot of ramdisk options out there as google will show. | -----Original Message----- | From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Craig Gittens | Sent: Monday, June 10, 2002 3:42 PM | To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Subject: RE: [Declude.Virus] OT: Hardware recommendations | | | Just out of interest: How would you go about putting your | spool directory in a RAMDisk? | | | Craig. | | -----Original Message----- | From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On | Behalf Of | Madscientist | Sent: Monday, June 10, 2002 3:17 PM | To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Subject: RE: [Declude.Virus] OT: Hardware recommendations | | | I recommend going with the single processor. Recovery in the | unlikely event of a main board failure is MUCH easier. Not to | mention it will be easier to support a P4 in future than a | P3. You're likely to be IO bound more than anything else - so | concentration on your storage is important | - if you have to make a trade-off, make it in favor of faster | storage or better caching therein. | | Also, watch out for your nic... It's a small thing, but the | speed and reliability of that piece can make or break a mail server. | | These days memory is cheap... There's almost no excuse any | more to have less than 1G in Ram (IMHO) not because you need | it now, but because not having it is always worse than having | it. This can come in handy when running multiple instances of | command line virus scanners or other programs like Message | Sniffer. The extra ram also helps when caching these programs | and their data - if the box doesn't need to hit the hard | drive for this you'll be in great shape. | | Along those lines, if you want to get clever (or beg for | trouble based on your point of view) you might even tweak | things a bit by putting your spool directory in a ram-disk... | But don't go that far unless you want this box to carry heavy | traffic and your power and equipment are stable enough that | you won't worry about the spool dir going away. | | Hope this helps. I'm sure others have different viewpoints to add. | | _M | | --- | [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] This E-mail came from the Declude.Virus mailing list.
