lrnobs �rta: | I have Samba running on FreeBSD as a dedicated file server, servicing | Windows pcs running a database application, on a Pentium 4 2GHZ 512MB RAM, | with a SCSI drive. The server's only job is to run Samba. | | The boss is asking what kind of new box we could get. Looking in the price | range of 1-5K. | | Should we get an Intel Xeon, or go to a different chip and maybe run | OpenBSD. | | Will dual processors do me any good with Samba as the only significant | service running? | ~From my experience with some file based (very unreliable) databases I got the conclusion, that the weakest point of such a setup is usually network speed, and Server IO. I would recommend to try out some Gigabit Ethernet cards, maybe more than one network card in the server.
Cheers,
