So that works down to a little less than 1 per second (3000ph / 50pm / .83ps )?
CPU is more than adequate, I'd use SATA raid with raptor (10k) drives (overkill but at least use 7200rpm/8mb edition ata) but you need more ram than 256mb if you multithread your SA. RAM is cheap right now I'd drop in 512m of ECC ram so you can run 5 threads at once. If you want extreme drop it in using 2*256m ECC chips on a spread-spectrum memory board (nforce). > -----Original Message----- > From: Federico Petronio [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, March 11, 2004 2:43 PM > To: SATalk list > Subject: Hardware requirements SA > > Hi all...
