Hi!
I'm going to get assembled a real beast for the purpose of ATM traffic
analysis: 2*Pentium II 233, 512 MB RAM. I'm seeking advice from someone
more experienced:
* What motherboard should I use? What chipset? (ASUS, Intel, TX, LX ?)
* What type of RAM (DIMM? is it really SO faster?)
* ASUS m/b has on-board NCR SCSI. Should I use it, or go for 2940UW?
* What processor/bus speed (I'll be very hungry for PCI bandwidth)?
Price is not so important (to some extent.. :-)) The most important is RAM
access speed and PCI b/w. Also, I'll need good SCSI for saving data (so as
not to overload the cpus - I'll need all of the processing power to
analyze the data).
Thank you for any insight on this.
