Hi! Well, just played with an old machine here in my offic, that is intended to be used as a mp3-server for internal use. ASUS P5A (ALI chip), 64 MB PC66, PCI ATI vid card (el cheapo) Intel EEPro 10/100 (82557) Adaptec 2940UW: narrow channel: Teac CDR58 as CDrom, on the wide channel a 9 gig barracuda, originally LVD. Hmm, the system came up, but within installing I had lots of probs with the controller, which reset some times and finally hung with the big transfers whilst installin ports collection... Ok, took a 68-50 pin adapter, and connected the drive to the narrow chain. Also told the 2940UW to only use narrow negotiation... after that, I discovered that the CPU was clocked to 100MHz FSB, whilst a colleague told me that it should have been a 333->66MHz FSB. So clocked down the CPU to 66*3,5=233 MHz, and it is running fine I installed 4.5-R from CD, and since then I only had the box transferring some 5 GB data via ftp in one big swoop, and the system remained stable. I only had the box running for a few hours, and it performed well, but to me my other (ok, Intel based with HX/BX chipsets) seemed more happy with 4.3 and 4.4, but this also might be due to different mainboards.
