I'm looking at building a new pc for home use, now one of my friends brought a server home for configuration. He installed m$ 2000 server and it installed it in quite literally 10 minutes. I'm trying to assertaine wether it was the processor speed (2.0GHZ XEON i think) or the speed of the scsi drives ?? or a combination of both, as i'm considering using scsi in my next build
Bear in mind server OSes may also be a bit diff to load than workstation OSes, depending on what you are loading.
But fast SCSI drives (often in a RAID confuguration for data integrity) in combination with a good fast CPU with lots of L2 cache, a good server board for good internal bandwidth, and loads of error checking RAM will help speed up processing taks quite a bit.
But you pay for it. That's why servers are more expensive.
wish i had the money to shell out for a server solution as i'm sure it'd be extremly fast the system i am looking at is a 2.0GHZ xeon running windows 2000 professional on a 15GB lvd scsi hard disk with 1.5GB of ram in a rackmount case nice and slim
