P4 3.2Ghz 2Gb DDR 400 Adaptec 2410 Serial ATA Raid controller 4 x Serial ATA 120Gb disks We don't use serial ATA but we do use UDMA 100 ATA drives on one of our mail servers. AMD Athlon 1000Ghz 1Gb DDR 2 MAXTOR 6L040J2 (Hardware ATA raid) About 8000 users with clamd scanning. SA spamc scanning on a dedicated SA server. Load averages about 0.14 See http://newmail.axess.com/qmailmrtg/ Regards, Rick
