I second that. Tried to use a 6501-70 as file server, and got myself a great deal of work to know in the end the box was not supposed to be used like that. An Intel atom mini itx board, powered by similar Atom CPU got faster results, but a huge margin. For me, the issue is with saturation bus related. I would not recommend using it, unless its a really small file server. matheus -- We will call you Cygnus, The God of balance you shall be A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
