I have to confess when I hear the world 'old' I was thinking of something a bit older than 4-5 years... > (I'll mention it also hosts about 3-4 thousand staff accounts too) You also didn't mention what sort of spec the box was. I was chatting to some other mates about 'power' issues the other day... I recall the days when we were happy doing things with 386's and hundreds of users... now we complain when we don't have a p4 and gigs of ram. > It aint broke, but I'm currently 'fixing' it, by replacing it with a > quad xeon with nearly half a terabyte of storage.
