I will buy at least one Fujitsu SCSI's for my DNS server and foor
the duplicate computer that I'm building as it's backup. These
are HP-Kayaks and will probably outlive me! I was asking also
about my Dell, which is ordinarily very fast; an outstanding
computer and I want to stick with it.
Sometimes it gets into a mode where it is super slow. Do you,
or anybody else have a clue why??
Also:: would a simple Matrox Millennium serve as a new video
board? I do not need/want anything gamer-fancy, so am looking
for something simple, like a MM with 8 or 16megs of video
memory.
