For a FBSD (or Solaris 10) based server that is only acting as an NFS server and nothing else, is there any advantage to using an SMP machine? Any disadvantage? Does CPU speed play any great factor (ie, use a 1.8ghz opteron instead of a 2.2ghz opteron for example)? I am planning for a Spring project to make an nfs server that serves to multiple web servers / application servers using an Areca 1130 SATA raid card. I assume lots of RAM for the OS to use to cache would be desirable and GB ethernet. Thanks Chad --- Chad Leigh -- Shire.Net LLC Your Web App and Email hosting provider chad at shire.net
