My system will be running with a single 1.2GHz Athlon CPU. Software RAID like Vinum has proven to be faster then HW RAID. Mainly because of HW Raid card's using poorly sized stripes. There is a benchmark test of Vinum vs some DPT Cards that brad knowles put on the web. If you want the URL I would be happy to dig it up for you. Vinum is FAST++, and you can enable softupdates on Vinum as well. So you get speed and reliability. And I use this combo on alot of Postfix mail servers for the mail queue. I couldn't be happier. Vinum is incredible. Now I just have to keep working on some decent doc's for it :-) ============================================================================= -Chris Watson (316) 326-3862 | FreeBSD Consultant, FreeBSD Geek Work: scanner@jurai.net | Open Systems Inc., Wellington, Kansas Home: scanner@deceptively.shady.org | http://open-systems.net ============================================================================= WINDOWS: "Where do you want to go today?"
