Hi, I am currently planning on building a small server to server 3 Windows clients, which uses Quickbook multiuser mode. The server will contain a Quick Book file (around 40-50MB) where everyone is going to work off. These clients are connected all the time throughout the day, and they do massive search on the Quickbook file quite often; I am wondering what hardware and software setup would best help minimize the amount of time it takes to search and access the database. Currently, I am planning: FreeBSD 3.3 Release Samba 2.06 Hardware: Dual Celeron 433 128MB of RAM 20GB 7200 RPM UDMA Hard Drive I have a quite limited budget, so SCSI wouldn't be possible. Since I do not need huge storage, would mirroring 2 smaller hard drives with (possible 5400 though, since I haven't seen the small 7200 RPM drives for a while...) improve the speed? Thank you very much! Frankie To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
