Thanks very much for the info. This helps because firstly i needed to know if a stable XP server is even possible.
When you say base OS install, i assume you mean a SP1 install? I will be using the basic SP1 XP Pro install. I have always been careful with hardware selection - this is not a cheap box either. Abit mobo generally considered one of the best for stability. Matrox graphics again, stable. No sound card. This is a bare but quality system (it used to be my desktop machine - 2GHz Athlon). I am going to rebuild it with a fresh XP Pro install. And leave it at that, just as a file server with no slimserver, no nothing - and see how it goes. I do have to use a Netgear rangemax wireless card though, that driver may be dodgy. It won't take long to see if the box can stay up for long enough(!). -- eeyssjr ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eeyssjr's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2271 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18129 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
