Kyle what are your plans or thoughts on moving to 4.9 or higher currently? Any tests so far on that box or another 2650 with 4.9 up & SMP? In answer to Simon's E-mail, I don't currently have the time to just test it and see if it breaks. By the time we have all of the software configured and up ready to load test a setback will put us back another week in reinstalling everything. Never mind that on the recent Compaq that had trouble (running 4.8 with SMP) it would take 48 to 72 hours for the problem to show up. I don't have a spare 2 weeks to just try. I also don't want to make a bad impression with this large account for any reason. Thanks for the feedback, Gerald
