i need to upgrade my old 350MHz 256MiB aptiva server to something with rather more oomph. being an ibmer, i can get ibm hardware at a slight discount, and my experience with h/w is that it has been rock-solid, so that's my preferred path at this point.
however, ibm's employee purchase programme only extends to desktops and laptops, no rack-mounted 'real' servers. that's fine; i don't mind using a tower. and unfortunately the specs make it a little difficult to compare models. there seems to be the ThinkCentre A-series and the M-series that might be good for my purposes. the NetVistas don't seem to have the memory expansion capacity i'd like. so far i haven't been able to see any real difference between the A-series and the M-series to account for the higher price of the latter. does anyone here have any experience with these, or recommendations? -- #ken P-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Golux.Com/coar/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ "Millennium hand and shrimp!" -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
